Everyone gets writer's block at some point. You blog, you blog, and you blog some more and then what. At some point the ideas run out. Some of you may have been patient and saved ideas on a list for future times, but for many of us there's just a void. I've searched Active Rain. I've searched google. I've bookmarked several posts just for occasions like this.

Hopefully that should give you ideas. But my best advice is to READ, READ, READ. The more you read on the Rain the more you'll see what works and what doesn't. What is popular and not. What is liked and not liked so much etc. Write about what you like. And reading will help you refine it.
If you know of links to other great ‘idea' blogs, please include them here in the comments and let me know. I plan to update as I find more great idea posts.
