One of the reasons I have long admired Prince (who incidentally I am listening to right now) is that he has a notorious vault of thousands of unheard songs that can fill countless albums long after he passes. Prince is so talented and intelligent that he can crank out songs on a whim. But the amazing thing is he has the forethought to store his extra songs in a vault just in case he needs one for inspiration or to finally share with the world.
Oftentimes as bloggers -- like any other writers -- we experience episodes (sometimes severe) of writer's block. After all, our genre of writing requires us to compose a compelling, witty, comment-inducing post nearly every day. Not an easy task!
We should learn a valuable lesson from Prince. When you have free time, use a portion of it to write extra blog posts and then save them as drafts in the back-end of your blog. Or, simply scribble potential ideas for blog posts in a journal and keep it handy precisely for those inevitable days when the only two sentences you can eek out is: "I CANNOT write anything today. I think I won't write anything at all."

I have an idea journal that I put right beside my bed. If I don't jot them down, come morning I've lost the idea and get very frustrated trying to remember what it was! I recently read that ideas only stay in our short term memory for about 40 seconds.
