Out of Ideas

Well, I could commend you on what you are NOT starting a discussion on, but in case someone has been posting about those things too, I probably shouldn't do that in case I hurt their feelings. I suspect you'll have ideas pouring out of you within no time.

I've hit a bit of a wall too. I often go searching through old photos when I get stuck. Sometimes that helps.

That 'out of ideas' is now an idea.. You're smart to do this. . Sometimes, it's difficult, yes. But the discussions still pour through.

I do not really run out of things to talk about, but often I am not in the mood to write.

It sounds like a bad case of writer's block. When that happens I write about the first thing that pops into my head even if it doesn't sound worth it. You never know where it will lead.

You will have good ideas again. I have a whole list of things I want to write about. Is there anything in the news that catches your eye? What's happening in your life? What are you eating? What are you doing? Have a great day.

Many times it happens with me and when I don't have an idea I read and respond on others' posts.

I never do. If I can't think of something, I will go find something online. I mean there are days when I can't be on myLot though. Well, finally you found something to talk about Jo Ann.

You know I don't like to start discussions unless something is really "speaking" to me at the time... Would you be interested in not-so-lofty ideas? What did you eat for breakfast, lunch and what will you make for dinner tonight? Do you have any houseplants? Do any of them bloom and are any of them blooming now? Do you own a smartphone? Do you use your smartphone to earn money? If so, what apps do you use to earn money? Have you ever used Mistplay on your smartphone? There are some off the top of my head... Will any of those work for you to write a discussion from?

I go out and take a photo of something that might be of interest or I just go out on the property and see if the world looks different from there.

I do. But then I remind myself that ANYTHING can be turned into a post. A bad driver. Cutting the finger nails on my left hand this morning. Kitty hounding me. I chose to write about my latest senior moment this morning.

I don’t write a discussion every day, not even every week. I read other discussions and reply to all notifications. That’s good enough for me.

I usually look around, write a few words about the object or memory that is being recalled, and jot it down into a solid, interesting paragraph. That's one way of fishing for ideas, hopefully it helps.
