[…] different to doing so as a hobby. It requires focus, planning and a desire to bust through those inevitable instances of writer’s block without reaching instead for the TV […]

Hi John
“Fear of failure”as I stared at a blank screen used to be my problem.

I cured it by just typing the following questions:

What? Why? How? When?

The act of just writing those questions kills both the “blank screen” syndrome and starts the creative juices flowing as I try to answer each question.

Hope this method helps some folks.

Lack of Interest in Topic is the first reason since many many bloggers now write for money and not for passion.
I don’t have writers block because i love what i do.

I think many writers get writers block in some form every now and again. For me, it’s a good excuse to take 5 minutes out and have a cup of tea, by which time I have usually filled my head with lots of ideas.

In reply to Lori. Lori, I'm fortunate that I'm always writing about subjects that interest me, but I can see how that would be an issue for many writers. It reminds me of grading papers back when I taught college. I enjoyed the really good papers, but most of them were not in that category.

Truth? Lack of interest stymies me sometimes. Rarely these days, but early on it was “Oh gawd, not another workers compensation article.” Then again, who wouldn’t say that? 😉

It’s about finding something interesting in it and making that my focus. That’s how I overcome it, and how I give readers something that interest them, too. If I’m bored, how the hell will they feel?
