As a writer, there are times when not everything comes easily to mind. I often find myself in a writer’s block, frustrated about why my thoughts cannot be translated on paper (or my desktop). After reading a ton of articles about how to overcome writer’s block, I have learned that sometimes you just have to write and not care about how it sounds. That’s what editing is for. Frequently, I find myself afraid to write something because I don’t think it will sound good. I have learned to overcome this fear by jotting down all my thoughts, then going back and reviewing them later.

All you have to do is type in three terms you’d like to blog about and the tool will auto-generate topics for you. Here is an example:

Based on the terms I included, here is what the tool came up with:

I hope you find this tool as useful as I do. Write on!
