my new method of writing quality articles part three

Getting started writing

The hardest part of writing for me is getting started I have several techniques to get around the natural procrastination and writers block that happens sometimes

- writing ideas down as soon as I have them

I have a document called"miscellaneous writing ideas" so I can write down ideas as they come to me for present and future articles

- I start writing many articles at the same time. I find that
this practice works very well for me. It has a couple of advantages

    - I always have an article in progress which prevents me from feeling like I have nothing to write about or that I have writers block.
    - if I get stuck on a portion of one article I can leave that article alone for a day or so and work on a different one.

Articles usually take me one to two days to write.

Writing articles over several days has some advantages I prefer.

- If I get stuck at any point I know there is no time pressure and I can stop and come back to it later.

- Reading an article over again the next day often gives me a new perspective and new ideas on the topic being discussed.
