Cure Writer's Block Instantly: From Blank Page to First Draft

Staring at a blinking cursor? Learn how to use AI prompts to generate ideas, outlines, and rough drafts in seconds.

The hardest part of writing is starting. The blank page is intimidating. It mocks you.

But what if you never had to start from zero?

The "Vomit Draft" Technique

Professional writers often talk about the "vomit draft"—just getting words on the page, no matter how bad they are. Rephrase is the ultimate tool for this.

Type a few bullet points of what you want to say.

  • intro about ai
  • why it helps writing
  • conclusion

Then highlight it and ask Rephrase to "Expand this into a blog post introduction."

Breaking Through the Wall

1. Generate Outlines

Input: "Topic: The future of remote work."
Prompt: "Create a 5-point outline for a blog post about this topic."

2. Expand Ideas

Input: "Remote work is lonely."
Prompt: "Write a paragraph explaining this point with empathy and examples."

3. Rewrite Until It Clicks

Sometimes you have the idea, but the sentence just feels clunky.
Prompt: "Rewrite this sentence to be more punchy and dramatic."

AI as Your Co-Pilot

Don't let AI write everything for you. Use it to get the momentum going. Once you have text on the page, it's much easier to edit and refine. Rephrase gets you past the hurdle of "starting" so you can focus on "finishing."
