"Pull a rabbit out of a hat"_This figure of speech means to produce something seemingly out of nowhere. I'm not a prolific writer unlike other mylot members who find it easy to post several discussions daily or at least regularly. To me they are like magicians "pulling a rabbit out of a hat".

@josie_ if you mean total discussions in a month, probably 5 to 10. if you mean responses and comments, maybe more, but sometimes less, too. i'm irregular here. sometimes i'm just reading without logging in. sometimes i'm logged in but not doing much either.

@hereandthere _The serious part of this post is I need to be more resolute in posting more. But like new year's resolution they never last.

@josie_ it's my recurrent resolution, too. just post, don't have second thoughts, don't care about the outcome, but i always, without fail, chicken out.

@hereandthere _When in doubt it is better to chicken out. There's always tomorrow to make another new resolution.

@Nawsheen _If I can make writing a daily habit, I believe the ideas will come naturally. It's no really the lack of ideas which is my problem but procrastination in putting the routine into practice.

You have surely noticed that I am not at all a prolific writer and I do not even think I want to make the resolution to write more during this month of June.

@josie_ All the pleasure is in discussing with others and writing time by time when we feel the need to share our thought. I would not have fun at all being here only for a few more cents a day.

@LadyDuck _The downside is it can be very addictive and you forget to do other house chores.

@LadyDuck _It all comes down to the motive for being here in mylot. I often come across discussion inquiring about how to make more money and if there are any "magic" formula especially from newbies. For us it is the pleasure we get with the interaction and being able to scratch the itch for writing.

@HazySue _For me pulling rabbits out of a hat would be much easier (because of youtube instruction) compare to pulling writing topics from my brain.

@josie_ no politics for me, or anything about religion and its views and principles, just my daily life.

@ridingbet _I find politics and religion interesting discussions but have to thread carefully when commenting because people can get very emotional about those topics.

I'm not too prolific either, but my 'hat' is the inside of my head. I write a lot about my past.

@jaboUK _They are stories which many of us can relate to. Stories about human interest with a personal touch seem to be more popular compare to posts about news events and general information or trivia.
