Brainstorming for Bloggers - The Bounce Method

The "Bounce Method" is a very simple trick I've used to great effect in my blogging.  After I've written a post about a particular subject, or even while I'm trying to flesh out that post in my mind, I'll bounce the idea off a friend, family member, or co-worker (maybe even several friends or co-workers).  In the course of discussing that particular topic, the other person will help me find flaws in my logic, remind me of things I missed, give me additional talking points, or (once in a great while) convince me it's not such a great idea after all.  The next time you're having trouble figuring out what to say or how to say it, talk it out with someone else.  They might give you the perspective you're looking for.
