I recently read The Practice by Seth Godin.
It is an excellent collection of short essays in Seth's distinctive style. I recommend it to anyone who asks.
One essay has been echoing around my head since I heard it (team audiobooks, over here). He says "There's no such thing as writers block". In effect, don't complain that you have no ideas when what you really mean is that you have no good ideas — in your mind's preemptive opinion.
Where are your bad ideas? You may need to produce a flop on your way to a blockbuster. Your first idea is rarely your best one. Make your mistakes. Put a draft down so you can edit it.
The process demands that we simply produce ideas. Quantity often precedes our ability to determine quality. As Don Draper says to his subordinate copywriters, "Give me more bad ideas to reject!!" (Sorry, another Mad Men quote.)
This post itself may be one of my bad ideas. I don't know. I'm just starting this practice. I sat down with nothing to say, but set a timer and drafted ten post titles. This is one of them. The other nine will likely be discarded.
If it is a bad idea, I want to know why (reply and tell me what you think), but I'm not concerned. That's the point.
