What to Do When you are so boring you are boring yourself

You never finished one of your own blogs written by yours truly and completes the dang thing is bored of your mind? To the point where it is painful, even re-read it for basic proofing?


Even if you do not, do not fear, your day is coming. It is located. All good things must take end, or what they say. Not that I do not say you are boring to always. This is just a phase. Or something. In any event. Here is what is happening.


If you're bored, your readers are bored. And if your readers are bored, they will stop returning - similar, bunk. Like that, readers are fickle. While you can have confidence that your temporary boredom is just a phase, and I can have faith that your last unpleasant boring post was just a fluke, other readers are not likely to be so kind. They flee boring like mad.


So, what it amounts to is that you do not have a whole lotta time dwell and wallow in your phase. Perhaps a few positions (if you're lucky). Trouble calls for desperate measures. You are gonna have gap yourself in total and become somebody much newer and cooler and more hipper you are. Sayonara baby.


My favorite way to break the boring assignment doldrums is to create an entirely new person. New alias, new pen name, what you have. I decided what I'm going to look like (still a kind of model super, of course), what looked like my past, where I am headed in life and how many hundreds of dollars would be paid to write this blog (it help). I decided that I am passionate about. Who cares if it is even remotely relevant to what I in general blog. Clearly neither I nor my readers can withstand any more than now.


So. You are a new person, with a new passion. If you have guts, you can post as yourself. If you are not so gutsy yet, as a guest blog post. Bottom line, do everything allowing you to have the most freedom and pleasure the most. Be wacky. Be crazy. Be fanatical. Honestly no matter. What is important is that find you again a voice. It could be a super hero, it may be a cartoon character. This could be your blond neighbor super sexy with the Greek goddess of tan that you despise. This could be the first of the class behind recycling to the Piggly Wiggly. You get the point. Choose one and write on bananas. Or maybe the boxes.


Now, depending on the severity of your boredom "condition" you can decide how far from this. Do you need a whole new blog? Probably not. But if you feel like you're on simply disappears too far for recovery, and then do so! Break again and again. A new provision little WordPress sometimes is suffice. If you think you just need to snap out of it, and then more likely than the steps, a few posts will be do the trick and bring a few graphics to normal, every day that you. If you feel like you could slide well back at any time, and then create something like Friday Fun Day and post under your alias once a week now. Your readers will develop a bond with you and you to you and someone probably much more exciting.


Will that happen, it is that you'll enjoy. Believe it or not. I know, I know, blogging is sometimes torture. But it will not. You need to use an entirely new area of your brain, an ability to entirely new of your wit and humour and your sass who probably did not see the day too long. And, especially if you post as a guest, you do not have fear of the consequences. There is nothing that can touch you or affect you because that the nut is who wrote this piece was not you! Brilliant, eh? Write a few pieces. Write until resume you spark it and vim and vigor that you used to have in your area of expertise.


Now, while I have proposed this idea primarily for those suffering from boredom, or at least for those of you make your readers to suffer your boredom, it is actually not the only thing this handy dandy technique is good for. It's also great for the wanna-be-writer of evil to find and install a voice. Zut, try a new voice per week. Tom Toronto this week, luxuriously following Sara. (A written kind mish-mash of voice is always interesting). Once you find a voice you have fallen in love with, and then step in your own. Claim your own name and attach it to the voice with which you logged on. This could be useful for writing 101 even when your teacher hates everything you do.


And finally! It is also great for blogger who wants to be controversial, but has not the spinal column, experienced blogger who has need of some work to improve his technique, the ancient blogger who was much, much too long, blogs and my beast staff: the blogger who has apparently forgotten that blogs once consisted of words and has since taken to display irritating iPhone photos of what he ate for breakfastlunch and dinner instead. (Is this annoying?)


Perhaps you know of a blogger or you may send this article to? I know that I am.
