How To Write When You’re Out of Ideas

February 24, 2022February 24, 2022by Olivia11 Comments

The time comes for all writers where you’re fresh out of ideas and you’re suffering from the dreaded writers block. It can feel isolating and really discouraging going through this as a writer, and especially if your writing is your job and income. The pressure builds and the stress heightens and before you know it you’re in a bad mood. Running out of ideas as a blogger is something I have been going through recently. I’ve been blogging now for nearly 2 years. I’ve published 310 posts (including this one) in the last 18 months. 310 fresh new ideas…my brain is tired!

If you have ever experienced writers block then you know just how annoying it truly is. There is nothing worse than knowing you need to write something but nothing is coming out of your brain. And the worst is when you keep trying and it just makes it worse. It really is a mental block, probably caused by over working your mind and not resting enough. So before I give you these ideas, please remember to take time away from blogging and life. You need to rest to be the best.

21 Blog Post Ideas for 2021

December 28, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia196 Comments

It’s nearly 2021 which means we all need some 2021 blog post ideas! I really hope and pray 2021 is better than 2020 and that we learn from everything we went through! 2020 is ending on a high note with a giveaway, so its only right we start 2021 on a high note too. Being a blogger is like having a full time job. The writing really only takes up 30% of the work. So I thought why not start the year off right with some blog post ideas. It’s been a while since I’ve done this, so thought it was time I shared some more.

Stay at Home Snow Day Activities

December 8, 2020November 21, 2023by OliviaLeave a Comment

The snow is very hit and miss here in the UK, it just decides each year if it really wants to snow or not, and when it does we have a complete melt-down because we don’t know how to handle snowy conditions. But if you are from a place where it snows every Winter, this post is for you! Alternatively, you could just do these activities anyway, the snow is not a necessity haha!

I’m sure it can be quite tricky entertaining family or little ones when going outside isn’t really an option unless you want to freeze to death. So I thought I’d share some ideas I have found for some snow day activities you can do at home. Lets get started!

4 Christmas Activity Ideas

December 7, 2020November 21, 2023by Olivia1 Comment

Christmas this year is going to be very different to anything any of us have ever experienced before. In my eyes that means Christmas needs to be an even bigger deal than it already is. We need the excitement and anticipation for Christmas because we haven’t really had anything else to look forward to this year.

That being said, I thought for todays Blogmas post I would share 4 Christmas activities we can do this year that are fun and not too expensive. Most of these things can be done virtually too if you aren’t able to get to your family or friends this Christmas.

20 Things To Do This Autumn

Featuredby Olivia36 Comments

As we are still in a weird time in the world with Coronavirus still being the talk of the town, I know its been hard to think out of the box of things to do this year safely. The usual things we would be doing this Autumn here in England are just not happening, such as going to bonfire nights and watching fireworks on guy Fawkes day.

But just because the time is weird this year doesn’t mean that we cant enjoy ourselves this year! If you’re anything like me, I don’t celebrate Halloween so you won’t see any Halloween activities in my list. Instead you’ll find Autumnal activities that involve family and loved ones.

30 Blogmas Post Ideas For Bloggers

Featuredby Olivia66 Comments

Even though my blog has been around for 5 years, this will be the first Christmas where I will be an active blogger! How exciting. And with that, I had heard the word ‘blogmas’ being thrown around occasionally and did some research into it. If you’re familiar with YouTube and vlogmas, its the same concept. You post a blog post everyday in the lead up to Christmas.

I haven’t decided if I wanted to take part or not, but I thought it would be helpful to post some post ideas if you decide to take part! I’m posting this obviously really early before Christmas, because if you do want to take part I’d start writing the posts now!

So lets get into it!

I have been researching and trying myself some recipes with fruit to try and help combat my sweet cravings. And boy are they sooo good, I knew I just had to share! So lets get started!

How to Make Your Blog Posts More Relatable

September 2, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia56 Comments

Relatable blog content can be defined as any content that the reader can relate to. Thats what I try to do with my own blogging content. I try to make sure that it’s a real life issue that people are going through, or that it’s something I would like to learn myself if I am providing tips and advice. I think it’s important as a writer to believe in what you are saying. How can I expect my readers to relate to something when I don’t even relate to it myself?
