No. Start by free writing.  Write about anything that comes to mind.  Write crap. Write gibberish. Soon the muses will sing to you again and you can get on with your topic.  Just write.

2) Don't begin at the beginning.  Start in the middle or at the conclusion of your topic. Very often, the hardest part of writing an article is the beginning. So do not start there. Start in the middle of the article or even start writing the conclusion. Just write.

3) Take a walk. Do something physical. Mow the lawn.  Get away from the computer. Take a pen and paper, if an idea comes to mind write it down. When you are done, do step two. Just write.

4) Pick a subject you might be passionate about or at least interested in and read as much information about it as you can.  Wait a day or two and then start writing off the top of your head as if you were talking to a friend about your interest.  Ernest Hemingway's editor, Maxwell Perkins said, "Just get it down on paper, and then we'll see what to do with it." Just write.
