You’ve just landed a large writing project, probably much larger than you have ever completed before. Sure, you can whip out 500 words with no problem, but now you’re facing a job that has ten times that word count.. How are you going to fill all that empty space? It certainly looks like a daunting task.
The best thing to do is break down your topic into smaller, manageable chunks. Divide your topic by choosing headers for each section. If you have to write 1,200 words for an article, create six headers for sub-topics. If you write 200 hundred words for each sub-topic, you’ll have your article done before you know it.
Creating headers is a great way to organize your thoughts and get the words flowing. You don’t have to reserve this technique for large articles. Just write out a brief list of what you want to cover in your article first. The whole idea behind using headers is to give yourself some direction where you had none before. Sometimes overcoming a block is as simple as a little organization.
