Hello Hello…What Are You Writing Today?

Every writer (yes, even the pros) hits that awkward moment where the blinking cursor feels like it’s mocking them. You sit down, coffee in hand, ready to pour brilliance onto the page and nothing. Nada. Zip. The brain is suddenly on vacation, sipping piña coladas while you’re left staring at a blank screen.

If that’s you today, no worries. I’ve got you. Here are 10 ideas you can use right now to jumpstart your writing. Think of it as a buffet, pick one, run with it, and get those words flowing.

1. Write About a “First”

People love firsts. Your first big client win, your first embarrassing networking moment, your first “I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m doing it anyway” leap into entrepreneurship.

Firsts humanize you, make you relatable, and give your audience a peek behind the curtain.

Try this: Write about what you learned from your first major misstep. Spoiler alert, people don’t remember your mistakes as much as you think they do.

2. Share a Behind-the-Scenes Peek

Everyone wants the backstage pass. Share a glimpse into your process like how you brainstorm ideas, prep for client calls, or create magic out of thin air.

Try this: “Here’s what my desk looks like before I write a blog post.” Messy? Tidy? Post-it notes everywhere? That’s gold.

3. Answer the Question You Always Get

What’s the question clients, friends, or strangers always throw at you? “How do you have time to do it all?” “How do you get clients?” “What’s your secret to writing fast?” Turn your answer into a post or blog. If people are asking you in real life, more people are searching for it online.

4. Do a “Then vs. Now”

Compare where you were five years ago to where you are today. What’s changed? What stayed the same? What surprised you?

Try this: “Five years ago, I thought success looked like X. Today, I know it looks like Y.” It’s reflective, inspiring, and authentic.

5. Tell a Story About a Client (Without the Names)

Got a client story with a teachable moment? Share it. Focus on the problem, the “aha” moment, and the solution, not the personal details. Readers love stories that sound like them.

Bonus: This type of writing doubles as case-study-lite content.

6. Write a “What I Wish I Knew” Piece

Everyone has hard-won lessons. Share yours. Maybe it’s what you wish you knew before starting your business, before publishing your book, or before jumping on the AI bandwagon.

Try this: Write it like a letter to your younger self. It’ll feel raw and real.

7. Riff on a Current Trend

Pick something in the news, social media, or your industry that’s buzzing and add your spin. People don’t want just facts; they want perspective.

Example: Instead of just saying “AI is everywhere,” write about how AI is like that clingy friend who won’t stop texting you. Fun, opinionated, and memorable.

8. Make a List (Like This One)

When in doubt, do a list. Readers love them because they’re scannable. You love them because they’re structured. It’s a win-win.

Try this: “7 Things I Learned From My Dog About Networking” or “10 Coffee Habits That Accidentally Make Me Productive.” The quirkier, the better.

9. Celebrate or Acknowledge Something Small

Not every post has to be big and life-changing. Celebrate a small win, acknowledge a random Tuesday, or write about why you’re grateful for that one friend who always texts you back at midnight. These posts remind your audience you’re human.

Try this: “Today I’m celebrating writing one decent paragraph. Cheers.”

10. Write the Post You Wish You Could Read

This one’s sneaky good. Think about what you’d want to stumble upon while scrolling. Advice you wish someone gave you. Encouragement you wish you had on a tough day. Write that.

Try this: Start with, “If you needed to hear this today, here it is…”

Writer’s block isn’t about having nothing to say. It’s about thinking you have to say it perfectly. These 10 prompts? They’re not rules, they’re invitations. Take one, bend it, break it, mash it up with your own story, and see what happens.

Because at the end of the day, writing isn’t about filling the page. It’s about showing up. And sometimes, showing up starts with “Hello hello…what am I writing today?”

Now you’ve got your answer.

And if you have no time to do this, or you're not "cut out" for writing, give me a call and let me be your voice.
