I've always wanted to write, you know that guys, right? There's something pulling me backward. What I mean is, for example.. I want to write a review in a certain product but when I tried reviewing it on my mind, I can't find the exact words, sentences and paragraph to start it. Any opinions and advice are very welcome.

Hi Edsss, This is the thing I am also facing. There is something holding me to write. Whenever I find one idea or topic in mind, something else also comes and it makes it a mess and nothing comes on monitor. Hope someone comes here and tell both of us about it.

I sometimes go through that, when I am tired or can't focus. What I normally do is write a basic outline, then step back do something else and maybe an hour or so later try again. I may return to the same idea or try a different approach, the problem is the more you try to focus on this the worse it seems, at least for me.

So true leeloo. The more you try to focus, the more it come worse! I'll try making an outline first then. I usually write my review directly into my blog.. and I guess this time its not working that well.. So better try another alternative technique and writing an outline first is in the top of my list.

i think you need an inspiration to write. you also need to practice. write anything that you want to write. write them in a notebook or a journal. anything that comes to your mind, write it. everything you see and has to be written, write it. that way, you begin to desire to write. you will discover later what particular things or niche you can write about.

Hi bunso! You must be having some pressures in other things bunso,that must be the reason for your writer's block. Don't worry,it's just normal to experience it. Like everybody said,you just need a break and take some rest first. Or have someone to inpsire you to write again,hehe!

Hi there... I think, you need to rest for a while... Don't force yourself to write, that is unnecessary. Write when you feel like.. First collect as much data as you can about the matter at hand... Chew it over... And don't begin with a hurry... Your mind will formulate the data and you'll feel like writing automatically and then take your pen and paper... OR jot down different points.. And elaborate them one by one, with as much data as you've... That might work after a little practise...

Right! Rest is really necessary now. I admit I haven't had a break for a while! I'm so stressed nowadays.. School + work + blogs + extra activities. I think I'll give myself a break.. a week is not enough, I guess! HAHAHA! Thanks for dropping by mr. pearl!

No actually you are not the only one to experience it.Some thing like same is happening with me too. You know what , this happens because of lots of stress and tensions present on our mind,or any kind of failure which we are not able to forget. This is effecting our writing skills. I am too searching for some good tips, so sorry no tips from my side to you. Although I think just believe on yourself that the thing which you are doing is right. And not wrong.

Aww. There are really a lot who are experiencing like this. Yes, stress is one of the reason in my side.. That's why I think I'll have a longer break from work!

When I am passionate about something, I don't have a hard time coming up with words. Perhaps you don't find a certain product to be fun or you are not into it. If that is not the problem, you need to take a few days off. When I am in the mood I can write about anything, but unfortunately, I was not bless with a good imagination like some writers.

Hmm. I think you are right. I should take a break and have some "ME" time to be able to get back my mind off to work!

hello edsss. i sometimes have that feeling.i feel that i know so much about a product but i just can't translate it into writing.i think the best thing to do about it is to create bits of information before formulating sentences.in other words, make bullets before making a sentence.in that way you cannot miss out all the information you know.

This is the reason I stopped trying to get such task online. I usually don't know what to say to start it... but the good thing is that if I started typing and finally thought on a good introduction, ideas came pouring in. I think for you to really make a good review. Start writing down keywords of your topic. Sometimes these ideas comes to our mind little by little. And once you start writing some lines and keywords, then you can now start with a good introduction. Well why am I even giving you an advise

Your advice is good! :) I think I'll be needing a mini notebook then have it myself anytime of the day because thoughts might come in.. That's useful!

Just relax and try later. In the meanwhile keep some notes, because thoughts will come to you while doing something else.

Will remember that. I hope it works and i'll be able to write good and useful reviews!
