A Transcript of... Ideas 05 Listen |
|
Welcome to another episode of Writing Tips for Content Creators. We're into our series on generating ideas and research. Most writers struggle to come up with ideas at one time or another and this series is aimed right at kicking that block to the curb. Let's look at the next technique... 5. Listen. Listen to people. Whether you're shopping, at the job, or in the gym, listen to what people are saying. What subjects are being discussed? What seems to be important to other people? Many times, you will get ideas based on everyday discussions. Having good listening skills is a huge benefit to writers. Don't forget the kids. Kids are innocent and provide a sincerity that is often missed with adults. If you have children of your own, nieces or nephews, or friends with smaller children, sit down and just talk to them. Believe me - you will hear all kinds of things that will soon get you out of Writer's Block. They possess such great imaginations that they will actually help yours kick into high gear. Attend a workshop. Listen to a teleseminar or conference call. Sit in on a class. Do an interview. Absorb information that other people are sharing and extract IDEAS that you can use yourself. |
