Many of us who write on the web get a writer's block or even writer's fatigue. There is no stream of fresh ideas to work with, and the frustration starts to mount in each of us. Some of the bloggers have attempted to solve the problem by listing various ways to generate fresh ideas, but I find these lists superficial. Most of us might have already tried several strategies to get fresh ideas rolling but failed at the end; it is highly unlikely that other methods would somehow be the magic solution in generating new writing ideas.

What most people do not realize is that we all have limits in accomplishing our tasks. We have a limit on the amount of food we eat each day, and our cognitive drive is no different. There are bloggers who try to squeeze one long article each day, but their creativity diminishes overtime, because they have already hit their writer's limit. It is surprising that most bloggers do not realize that there is a limit within each of us on how much we can express our thought through writing. For me, my limit depends, but clearly I cannot write an article at a daily basis. I need to take two or even three day writing "free" breaks to get my mind refreshed for another essay.

Some, however, are persistent and try to write in volumes in the hopes that they would get a larger audience. It is their choice to do so, but I would not bet on the original creativity of their writings. Most of their writings are probably derivatives of another article, and many of the literary elements would be weak at best. Their writing experience would not be pleasant either as they are constantly pressured to publish articles at a continuous basis. When will they ever rest?

I will not lie. I have initially been one of those writers. During the early days of Day Mind XPression, I was pressured to post as many articles as possible to widen my stage on the Internet. However, my articles turned out to be the worst representation of myself, and I did not enjoy the experience of constantly writing under pressure. I moved away from that habit, and now I write an essay or two every week. If I feel I do not have anything special to write, then I wait for another day. It’s that simple.
