Can not think of anything to write about.....

As a newbie here on mylot, my activities are more focused on making comments on what others have started rather than starting a discussion on my own. At first I thought it would just be an easy job, thinking of some topic to talk about, especially since I'm usually talkative. But then, a really good inspiration is rare to come by for me since I joined this community lol I have only started about 5 topics, I think. I don't mind at all though. I'm actually enjoying myself as I read the discussions that has been started my others, like this one. I love sharing to others what I think and in turn learning from their opinions. It's looking at the other side of the coin and makes you think "hmm.. why haven't I thought of that?" Happy mylotting! =)

Hi, anetteh.. Anybody can suffer from 'writer's block'. What I did was to give myself a break, clear my mind, unwind.. Our mind cannot write if we're so stressed out or is not relaxed. So what I did is to do something else, like watering the plants, change the beddings, the best thing is going out.. do something else completely... I'm also after the before Christmas payout. But pressuring myself only leads to "no idea at all". So, I just go with the flow.. write something that I think will interest other people too. I also post discussions if I wanna ask something, or wanna clear something up. Usually I write about my own experience so it's not that very hard to come up a topic. ^^v

This happened to me last night... my daughter was already sleeping... so i had time to mylot... but the problem is... i was only able to think of one discussion to start... and it only got one response... So i thought of just to respond to some discussions... but i can't find anything that interest me... so... by 11:30 in the evening... i decided to turn off the laptop... and sleep...

Thankfully I have never come across this myself. I guess if I cannot think about starting a discussion then I respond to a lot of other people's discussions. I think that it's important to keep on writing as there is always something to say. If you don't like what you have written you can always edit it to your satisfaction. I really hope that I never get to the stage where my thoughts finally dry up! Andrew

If you love writing then make your own blog. You can write anything there.

That happens to me from time to time because I do so much writing. My dry moments only last a short time though. I just relax and listen to music for a bit. Usually ideas will pop back into my head the minute I am back on the computer. Responding to discussions right is my main thing so that I can get a feel for the site. I am new so am learning how everything works.

Oh yes, that happens to me a lot. I want to post to make some more money but sometimes the old brain doesn't work and I can't think of a thing to say. Then I go and just read and look around till I find something that gets a thought going in my head. Also a lot of times I don't have much to say to the discussion so I try by just hitting the response button and as I am typing it just seems to come to me, what to say. Sometimes the response ends up being really good and at other times it might not make a whole lot of sense, but I don't think it really matters. I just want to be active so I respond with what ever comes to my head. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Your friend, Chris

I have that problem sometimes. This is why I very rarely start Discussions. It's no good if I can't think of something! So, I just go and look for Discussions to respond to. People here are very good about coming up with a wide variety of topics to write about. There is almost always something that I am interested in. So, I usually still get paid even if I can't think of something on my own, because I am able to respond to other people who are more creative than I am at the moment! :)

Yes it happens sometimes. When i'm in such situation i don't force myself to start a discussion, i just read other people's discussion and write comments on them. Sometimes while doing that ideas to write about comes, if not no worry, you still get pay by writting comments on others' discussion.
