Article Ideas sometimes come from unusual places

The best ideas do come out of nowhere, usually when I am relaxing in the shower or doing housework. I don’t know if I am able to explain what spurs an idea to come. I remember looking at a party invitation my daughter received from another kid at school and feeling annoyed because it was the third invitation in so many weeks and the little light bulb went off. I wrote an article about children’s birthday parties and managed to sell it for $350!

I have had several article ideas from discussions on Mylot. Yesterday, I was responding to a discussion about age differences in partners, and I realised I could make an article from it. I put it on Helium, and it's earning already, as well as rising through the ranks. I keep post it pads all over the house, especially on the bedside cabinet, as I get a lot of ideas just as I am settling down for the night. Great topic.

Yes, good ideas come all of a sudden.

We travel a lot so I'm always thinking of things to write about. Sounds cool what you did, see, us guys do some interesting things once in a while. :)

Article Ideas.....come sometimes from unusual places........ Hi there Sunnfl, I'm so excited for you over your articles. I guess the reason why I feel so excited is because you stated the topic so correctly. Sometimes articles come from unusual places. One place I got an article idea from was when I was mentioning to a mylot friend how tired I was. Well it started up a whole discussion and so many people responded. So to go even further I hadn't really thought about submitting any pictures into mylot simply because I thought it was kind of too complicated to do and kind of out of my league. Mind you, I love taking pictures. I get so excited whenever I can take a picture and it comes out looking darn near perfect. I will take pictures of just about anything. But up till now I had never really thought about doing anything with them. I'd take them with my digital camera and there they'd stay until I got ready to delete them. Anyhow, I decided to post a sleepy looking picture of myself to the article that i had written on being tired. It was a big step for me because I was actually doing the process up uploading the picture myself without having to ask my hubby to come and give me a helping hand, which is what I often do. Anyhow, I did it all by myself and I was so proud afterwards, it felt like a major achievement. You know what sunnflr, it's the learning process that is taking place that is what I was getting so excited about. I'm not going to tell my age here because I don't know you that well yet, lols. But I will say this much, that old saying about we learn something new every day, is totally true. Sometimes our brains may feel stuck because we haven't been to school in a while. Some of us have been around the same crowd of folks, day and day out. So we never really learn much new. But it's not until we start trying out new things and once we decide to take that leap of faith, the the wheels inside of our brains begin to churn. So surprisingly, articles and new endeavors begin to spring up all around us. So I hope this answer your questions concerning what unusual circumstances we've had that have lead to articles. Go figure!!! happy mylot.

It is good to get idea even when we are enjoy the make something.You are the lucky one.But i only get the idea when i go out to other place.That place must be unique and peace.I dont like to writing in bad and noisy place because it will disturb my mind and writing.
