Drawing a Blank

I have been sitting here staring at this empty box for a while now - drawing a blank. I know it happens to everyone from time to time. I think I'll just spend some time this afternoon brainstorming and making a list of ideas of what to write about. Maybe I'll do better and not be so lackadaisical if I have a little structure as far as writing is concerned. I have enjoyed reading on here this morning though and seeing whats going on with some other users. That's what I love about writing communities like this. Posts are so diverse and can be so inspiring. I hope all of you that are writing are having a great Saturday!

We don't always feel like writing discussions, sometimes it is easier just to read them and comment on them.

It's not a problem I have often! Usually I have plenty to say about everything (or so my husband says!)

I find if you just write about things that are important in your life right now, it's easy to come up with topics. That's a trick I learned from some very successful writers, and it's helped me produce tons of content for different sites over time.

Usually it's not a problem for me! I'm just out of sorts today I guess! Thanks for your support!

That's how I feel today! I keep thinking of things and then I think.. "Nobody wants to read that!"

I agree. I feel like you just never know what you will come across here!

I hope you can make a list of great ideas and use it to fill your blanks. I can't even think of enough topic ideas usually to make a list with. I end up searching teh internet for ideas. Then I end up just playing and goofing off online.

Oh yes I have been there more than once! Somehow I always end up on some site looking at pics of food I will never cook and projects I will never make!

Reading the local newspaper or listening to the news can give you ideas.

I love diversity, it makes me learn a lot of things and opens my mind too.

Most days on here I'd just be responding and commenting as I read around without starting my own discussion.

I agree that the communities' posts can be inspirational. I have found many of them informative, amusing, poignant and thought-provoking.
