I had started my last discussion nine days back.It was my 227th.Now I want to start my 228th discussion,but have no idea. What do you do when you are eager to initiate a discussion,but your mind is completely blank?

I have many to initiate and share but want to go slow. I write down the topics as they occur and have thousands begging to see the light of the day! siva

@else34 I have over 800 posts on various sites and once I start I have no issues. But I take care that I have something to say and share! siva

When you have written so many discussions in such a short period of time your mind will do that. You don't have to keep posting discussions. I am sure something will eventually come to you.

@Happy2BeMe,I generally keep interacting,but sometimes I want to start a discussion.Generally I start discussions on my day to day experiences.Now my mind is completely blank..That's why I decided to ask my friends like you what they do in such a situation.

Too many discussions in a short while makes the mind blank at times. I just look around to find ideas!

I have had so many things on my mind lately but no time to be here or the site was acting up.. I usually have something to write about or at least look around for one.

@zap_81,I never start a discussion if I don't have a good idea.But sometimes I become extremely eager to start a discussion.

@zap_81 Of course,but how can you start a discussion if you don't have an idea no matter how much eager you are?

@else34 So eagerness is what makes you start a discussion. I thought it should be an idea or a view on a subject \.

First, I have a pad and pen on my desk so that I can write down any ideas that come to me during the day. If that doesn't work, I look at all my photos on my computer or photos on Pixabay to get ideas. I also look at the news online and then if after all that I can't come up with something, I just won't write for a day or two but I still interact on myLot.

If that happens to me, I better sleep or watch TV.But there are so many topic s to write.Just write what pops up to your mind and develop it.

@else34 consider adding few trending and current social issues. You have a section in facebook that shows trending or you can create a discussion that could engage every Mylotter to comment which is a very common and easy topic.
