There comes a time when every journalist suffers from writer's block, becomes disorganised, or feels unable to come up with original story ideas.
If you can relate to this, check out this blog post from Sarena Brown, director of content at Westman Editorial, who lists twelve tips to help writers stay calm, confident and efficient in their day-to day work.
She emphasises the importance of planning ahead, writing every day, eliminating distractions, and learning to take criticism.
