				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Realizing you have nothing original left to say is a heavily depressing emotion- especially when your job depends on your ability to generate content. But don&#8217;t worry- a <a href="http://www.jonathanfields.com/blog/the-writing-marathon-or-how-to-get-new-ideas-when-you%E2%80%99ve-reached-the-end-of-your-thinking/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+JonathanFields+%28Jonathan+Fields+|+Awake+At+The+Wheel%29">writing marathon</a> could be just what you need to dig up some ideas you didn&#8217;t even know you had. Not just for <em>writers</em>, this strenuous exercise applies to&#8230; well, everyone who can type who needs to come up with ideas.<span id="more-2176"></span></p>

	<p>Here&#8217;s the gist: You set aside a time slot- could be hours, could be days- and you do nothing but write. You write about ideas you&#8217;ve had, you write about ideas other people have had, you write about anything your heart desires. Like <a href="http://www.jonathanfields.com/blog/">Jonathan Fields</a> says, nobody will see your pages unless you choose to share them, so don&#8217;t hold back. This is a great time to celebrate your <a href="http://www.humblepied.com/liz-danzico/">lack of plan</a>, too.</p>

	<p>Sitting down for an <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/whatisnano">entire month</a> might be a little extreme, but the idea is something we long for in this industry- being able to put yourself in a place with absolutely zero distraction, where inhibitions must be checked at the door, and judgements aren&#8217;t allowed. Just you and your ideas. Implementing them is step #2, and no less demanding of your time and energy- but respect the order of numbers and dig yourself out of the hole first.</p>]]></content:encoded>
