Re-fresh, Re-hash, Re-write


You are running out of ideas, you sit down in front of your computer and stareat the blank screen with a blank mind.

Your fingers are idly waiting for some action.Writer's block? Perhaps.

You must have an "Ideas " file. Betteryet, go over your article file. There mustbe a title that catches your attention. Open the file and go over the titles. See a title from years ago? Does it still appeal totoday's readers with a bit of retouching?

Hmmmm?

Ask yourself, what audience did you write this for? Is it possible to re-arrange it for another age group, an interest group, or add a twist to give it a different flavor andmake it current for the same group you wrote it for. Present it with a fresh perspective.What other insights have you gainedsince you wrote this article?

Take the subject of diet or nutrition. Thedifferent age groups have different dietaryand nutritional requirements. Add to thislifestyle. Not everyone subscribes to the same patterns of living. This topic haspotentials for expansion.

Your journal offers a wealth of ideas. It's not about sharing your experiences, per se, althoughthat may not be a bad idea. Your journal contains what lies very deep in your heart, yourpsyche, your joys, your ramblings and more.

Topics that touch your heart, emotions you can share, lessons that your readers can learn, words that inspire them to open their minds,nurture their spirits and more. There are nuggets of insights from the depths of your soul.

Do you blog? You wrote something in thespur of the moment, a fleeting joy, and tidbitsof information and more ramblings.

Pick a topic. Expand on it. If you wrote it,hoping to share it with others in your blog, rewrite it and give it your best shot. Voila, a new article waiting to be written.

Turn your personal writings into the secondperson, in the active voice, present it as fresh as if it were happening right now. You canalmost see your reader nodding his/her headin agreement, thinking, yes, I could havewritten this myself. Why didn't I think of it?

Writing is not about searching for new ideas all the time. Sometimes, it's worthwhile tore-write and remind others that the past carries on today and moves forward to tomorrow.

The wisdom of the ages is forever.
