Part 2: You Become an Idea-Generating Machine

I have a favorite saying…

“The more you write, the more you write.”

And it’s no truer than when you’re writing a daily email.

There’s something almost magical about writing… that makes other ideas spill forth.

You see…

I’ll be merrily writing an email. And (without warning) something just pops into my head from nowhere.

I’m like, “Hey, that’s an awesome idea for my next email!”

So I make a note.

More often than not, a few ideas pop up each time I sit down to write.

I think sometimes it’s because I’m butting up against Resistance to doing my work. And it’s busy trying to distract me by dangling other things in front of me.

Fortunately, many of those distracting thoughts ALSO have potential for life as an email!

Then, when I’ve relaxed a bit after the “must-dos” of my daily writing, the ideas will often keep on coming.

I love going out for a walk. And having my notes app on standby on my phone.

And you’ve probably heard of other people who had their own epic ideas while relaxing…

Having a shower. Chilling with the family. In the kitchen, channeling their inner “Master Chef.”

It’s just how our creative minds work.

My experience is…

Writing daily email creates fertile soil for ideas. And ideas are the raw material of daily emails.

A beautiful cycle.

The same pattern goes for social media posts. And other content for your business. Including products you develop.

I end up with WAY more ideas than I need. In fact, I’ve got 600+ email ideas waiting in the wings.

Some are already well-fleshed out because I brain-dumped at the time I thought of them.

And even though I might NEVER get to use many of them…

I also NEVER have to worry about the dreaded writer’s block.
