For an avid blogger, it’s easy to run into lulls when you just can’t think of what to blog about next.

1. Headline news e-mails. Subscribe to e-mails of daily news headlines from just a few of your favorite news sources. More than that, and you’ll get overwhelmed. But you can scan about two or three of them daily for current events-related blog posts. Subscribe to one news source that publishes views you usually don’t agree with to really get your creative juices flowing.
