Far Too Much Inspiration Here

Okay, let me explain. I love it here, even though I don't get here as much as I'd like. Then, whenever I do, like now, I get so many ideas for posts I just can't keep up with myself. Like New Zealand's Huka Falls here, the ideas just keep on rushing. I read someone's post and think hey, that reminds me about such and such. This morning I've read a couple of posts that have really inspired me, but I need to spend my time responding to others too. A lot of this morning's reading has been about water - the ocean, rivers, lakes - you name it! Hence my waterfall picture here. I wish my brain would slow down and not want to write so much! Do you have this problem

I do get inspired by other people's posts too - that's part of what this site is about I think. We spark each other off.

When it boils down to it, we may all live in different places and lead different lives, but many of our experiences are similar.

I have just the opposite problem. My brains doesn't move very fast at all. Depressed most of the time. Water can be a wonderful sight to behold.

@valmnz ...I'm afraid of the water but I like to look out at the lake or ocean.

It's about getting the balance right, isn't it.

I am not a writer, so I don't feel the need to write all the time.

It's just as well we're all different isn't it, otherwise there would never be anything to read

i jest wanna climb'n that pic! sometimes folks go a tad o'erboard with their ideas when readin' other folks schtuff. seems that then there's'n influx 'f close the same thingy bein' put'p by many. not sayin' that some folks're able to give a shout out to whome'er inspired 'em 'n then make their own way to where's such's interestin'. jest that some don't 'n such becomes repetitive. i'm inspired myself quite off, but seem to suffer from short-term memory syndrome. by the time i'm done with notifications, those thoughts're long gone

I have this problem all the time. Usually when I don't have a notepad and pen to hand, even, let alone the time to write it in full!

These days I'm more spontaneous, wanting to respond to the ideas at the time. if i don't I just let them fly away, as there'll be plenty more ideas next time I'm ready.

I can totally relate. I learn a lot here on myLot and a lot of discussions reminds me of other things and I wish I had more time to read through all of them.

Another person's post, or one of my recent photos usually do the trick for me

I know what you mean. I come here with an idea and then I read and that gives me new ideas and since I only like to do 1 or 2 at most in a day I have a decision to make.

I'm not all that good at decisions, which is why I sometimes need to take time out from here to get other things done.

I admit I wish there was a place to store drafts here, sometimes I have too many partial ideas and not enough time!

I do have that problem sometimes. Lately I have been keeping myself busy off line though.

Jot down notes so you can remember what to write later! I've lost many a thought by not scribbling the idea down. Also, I caught that pun. Huka Falls...rushing. You can't hide it!

Wasn't meant as a pun - if only I was that clever. I don't bother writing ideas down any more, there is just so much inspiration in daily lfe that I'd never keep up with everything!

I love the photo! And I love that you find inspiration here. I had actually forgotten about this site for quite a while and have just returned. I hope to become an active member again and possibly find some inspiration myself.

Wow that is some serious turbulent water there - so your mind is flowing like that? Eeeek
