OMG...did you see that? No, you didn't? Oh man, you have NO idea what you just missed. You are NEVER going to see anything like that ever again as long as you live...even if you live to be a hundred. What am I talking about? Guess what? It doesn't matter. What does matter is that you just got excited. You got sucked into something and you were wondering where it was going. You felt something. My friend...THAT is what you have to feel EVERY TIME you sit down to write an article or your readers are going to fall asleep on you.
Think about this. How many times HAVE you been really excited about something to the point where you just had to tell all your friends and when you finally told them, the only reaction you got out of them was, "So, when are we going to the park to shoot some hoops?" Let's face it...nobody cares as much about what you're all worked up about as you are. So even under the best conditions, you're going to have a hard time capturing your audience...no matter how excited you get. So imagine how horrible the reaction is going to be if you just "go through the motions."
So, how DO you get excited about what you're going to write about? Well, if it's a subject that you really love, it shouldn't be too hard. At least I hope not. Otherwise, you've got some real problems on your hands. I mean if YOU can't get excited about what you're writing about then your reader is doomed from the start...no matter how interested they are in the process. And, if the subject you're writing about ISN'T one you really care about, that only makes the process harder.
In the case of an unknown subject, you need to first do as much research as you can on it so that you at least know what you're talking about. Then, you have to trick your mind into thinking that this is just the coolest thing in the world. If you have to bribe yourself to do it, then bribe yourself. I usually promise to treat myself to a session of Combat Mission or some other fun video game that I love playing. That usually gives me enough inspiration to write an article that gets the juices flowing. Heck, promise yourself a night on the town if you have to. Just get yourself excited.
If you're a writer, you should be passionate about your art anyway. Sure, there are days when you're not going to feel like writing. If you get days like that and don't have to write...don't write. Forcing it rarely works. If you follow these simple tips, you'll find that not only will YOU get excited about your writing but your readers will too.
To YOUR Success,
