If you’re a blogger like me than I’m sure at one point or another you’ve hit a block and just didn’t know what to write about. Whether you felt like you’ve already covered all the topics you needed to or maybe you are just burnt out from blogging consistently, it just happens sometimes! Personally the blogging bit does not always come easy to me but I love the end result! It’s so gratifying to be able to write freely and document different parts of my business and creative process. So even when I get in a rut or have ran out of blog ideas I still keep on writing because I know it’s temporary and I’ll get a burst of inspiration at some point or I’ll finish a project and write about that.

One way that I try to stay consistent is to keep a running list of blog ideas and of course I store all of the info in Trello (affiliate link)! This has really helped me out along with keeping a spreadsheet of all my past posts and their categories. I like seeing what categories I have wrote about lately and what areas I should touch on. So since having lists of blog ideas keeps me motivated I thought I’d share some ideas here in case you need some extra inspiration plus this list will also help me too! Since I tend to focus mostly on graphic design, calligraphy, hand lettering and my own experiences as a solopreneur these topics might not relate to all bloggers out there, but you never know what might spark your next idea. If you want to see more of how I stay organized when blogging check out this past post. Or if you want to see my overall blogging process read this post too!
