Blogging isn’t just typing. It’s much more than that. Those bloggers who are the most successful are the ones who find it easy to capture an idea or thought and put it into words. And then to type it into a computer.
Notice how I made the last part, the typing, is deliberately separate from the rest of the process.
Ideas, thoughts, inspiration and anything else that you might like to blog is unlikely to strike while you are sat in front of a computer. Sure, there are times when you are online and see something interesting but the content that will make your blog successful will be the content that comes from you, not the regurgitation of things found online.
You need to be able to capture the things that come into your head the moment they start to form. The two most underrated blogging tools are also the simplest. Pen and paper. They allow you to record your ideas in the most basic and traditional sense.
Get your thoughts down on paper and you will never have to sit at the keyboard waiting for inspiration to strike.

Your themes is very simple and nice! I like it!
I never wrote blog like this ago.
Pen and paper, I have remembered
I always thought pencil with a rubber was more appropriate to the medium… but then that’s just me.
More or a satisfying chew as well without the drama of flooding yourself with ink.
Treat yourself to a pencil with a rubber on the top and you won’t know yourself.
Plus there is always the added benefit of value and loss. We all loose pens, pencils however are cheaper to replace.
So all in all, thumbs up from the Sports Desk.

I agree. But someone should write the pen-and-paper plugin!
