November 6 Dicussion Goal: Need Advice on Writing on myLot

I don´t try to earn a lot of money here so for me good discussions are not the ones that receive a lot of likes or answers necessarily. I don´t like to read too long posts so I don´t make mine too long either. For me mylot is both a diary and a way to relate to nice people all over the world.

We all have certain things we like to write about and are passionate about, and that certainly helps to create more content in that way. Some of us are writers in real life outside of here, such as myself, and that helps too because we already have a "voice" and a "process," and because writing comes more naturally for those of us who are writers. I DO think shorter, more focused and concise posts do better than longer ones here. A quick hook and getting the point across quickly are key. I think being able to easily draw from our experiences helps as well. Since we can write about anything, it pretty much opens the floodgates for ideas to be able to write about. I stub my toe on a wall, I can write about that and try to make it whimsical and funny. I can write about the weather and how I felt about it, or how it stopped me from doing something I wanted to. I can write about a cold sandwich I got at a restaurant. I can write about really needing to get at cleaning out my garage. I think if you just focus on what interests YOU will make for an interesting discussion even if it's on a trivial topic because it's something you are familiar with and we get your take and perspective on it, which makes it unique and interesting in its own right. Mosly, don't think of it as a job. Write when it feels right, not just to create a new post just because, and have FUN. When you allow it to be relaxed and fluid and fun, the rest of it just sort of falls into place by itself.

it depends on you. Most of those who are here write about their day, the events that happened, and other activities in their life be it past or present

For me I only write movie, book reviews, and month diary posts.

This is quite a hard one to answer as some posts that get a lot of responses are on very trivial subjects such as what they had for each meal or whatever. Do you have some childhood memories that you could write about? Shorter posts do seem to do better. Sometimes I make two posts out of one if it's easy to split them. We haven't heard about Onnie for a while. How is he doing? I hope he is okay.

Mylot is like a diary to me when I am writing discussions. Also I like every comment under the discussion I read and comment back on some (if I have time, I comment back on all comments considering there's something to comment back). I follow this principle of liking every comment I read underneath the posts. I read from laptop, so it's easies for me to read fast.
