Help! What has happened to my inspiration?

Yes - it was just oen of those days where nothing was making me happy- a few days later i was back here starting trouble and making jokes..lol.. I think you are working to hard.

I find this sometimes and I have not posted a new discussion for ages. I feel that we sometimes go the full hog and then burn ourselves out. Maybe your new job has preoccupied yourself without you knowing it. It is however hard to wrack your brains to find a new discussion, especially when you look at the new ones and they are so boring. I know if I post one it will get lost amongst them, so sometimes I can't be bothered. Don't give up though as you do have interesting discussions, maybe you just need time out to get your brain in gear for a while. It does however seem that there aren't so many thought provoking discussions as there was before. I think I need to search abit more too. I'm sure you will come back fighting and I eagerly await another discussion from you!!!LOL!!!

Hey rosie... Its Good you initiated this discussion, You have 10 STAR rating and you have More than One Thousand and Seven Hundred Plus Posts on your name, you are the inspirer for people like me. And imagine your previous daily stamina of 30-50 posts....!!!!!!!! That was really great. Do you know my daily posts are just 3-5 posts a day! And my all time best is just 10 posts a day which I achieved a couple of times! Also you have got some very nice replies, when I will be lack of inspiration, I will read this discussioon Actully whatever happend to you happens with all some day! I am sure by now you are over flowinmg with Inspirations!

Yes i've had that, in fact i've just returned to mylot after having been away for about 4 weeks, because of a similar thing. I think sometimes we just need a break from the routine, just as we go on holiday to get away from the daily grind, we sometimes need to ease off mylot to give our brains time to relax. I wuldn't worry about it too much, take a little break and before you know it your creative juices will be flowing again and you'll be raring to go. Hope the new jobs going ok. Take care.

Hello-o....30 to 50 posts a day??? i struggle to do 15. How do you do that many? how long does it take. I spend a lot of time reading posts and responses till i find something i can respond to aor comment on. I've been on-line now for 11hours. Of course I've been answering my emails, and trying to add a photo to my blog and trying to upload some photos from my camera and playing with my neopets account but still...I couldn't do so many. And you also work???? please.... don't say you have children and a hubby too. Go on...tell me how you manage to think up or reply to so many. Please.

hi rosie, while your inspiration has gone south you sparked a question for me and maybe an answer for you. how long would it typically take you to post 40 times? how long to respond? and finally how much money would you make?

Yes, I get days like this, when discussions are staring at you in the face, you have emails from friends that have started new topics, you look at them but the inspiration doesn't come, you are 'blank' and nothing will come, writers block, or typers block! Everyone suffers with it. Best thing is to walk away, give it some time and come back later, you'll be surprised that the inspiration will return! Sometimes the ideas and responses flow like a river, other times they barely trickle! Return later Rosie, do something else instead and see how you feel in a couple of hours. Hope the job is going well for you!

I get like that for weeks at a time. I've hardly been on at all recently. I haven't found anything to post about and i've been finding it difficult to reply to discussions. I think sometimes it's just good to take a break, from MyLot or the internet in general. When you are on all the time it can get pretty boring so it's good to recharge the batteries. I've been watching DVDs instead lol. I think i'll get back into it this week. That's just the way it goes.

Rosie I wondered where you have been. LOL I go through the exact same thing. Some days I just have no motivation. I get lazy I guess. Other days I get on here and start answering one after the other and I get a rhythm going and then I'm ok. I do hope I have more of these days this month then the unmotivated ones. I think you are feeling like most of us do every now and then. If you look to on posts from your friends you will see a bunch and then a break so everyone goes through these cycles.

I have this problem too Rosie. I think thats why I don't manage to post too often. However I do go through my friends posts and try to get some inspiration from those. Just lately there have been other things going on in my life and I cannot seem to get any ideas from there either. I am always thinking of what new subject I can put on but when I put it on the Mylot search I find its already been discussed so then I don't bother. Its always interesting to read other peoples posts anyway. Hope the new job turns out the way you want it too. Keep posting.......!!

I have had this happen to me. What I have done is give the site a rest for a couple of days. Then look in my inbox. I have loads of mails there then that I can answer so it inspires me to start again. I also like to think of the money!!

Yes, I think everyone now has a brain freeze. I hate it when I get those, and I don't know what causes them, but you will come out of it. You probably are exhausted with other thoughts on your mind right now, and so whether you know it or not, it probably is taking away from being able to post discussion. I bet in a few days, or by next week, you will be back on track.

This happens to me some days I find I just do not post at all. But then other days I cannot stop. For all the thousands of discussions on here sometimes I even find it hard to find one that appeals to me.

It would seem that you have a case of writer's block...what i would suggest you do is read, read, read...you are bound to get some ideas from reading the newspaper, surfing the net or even watching cnn...

Same has happened me and very clearly I know the reason, last month they reduced my earnings from 14.85 to 11 that made me disheartened and now I am searching for other places from where I can earn something.

This seems to be happening to a lot of us. Ive been here four months now and have seen my posting rate drop from over 100 per day to 30 or 40 on a good day. Im not sure how to get over it, but i know its been like this throughout February. I would also be interested because ive got a feeling im just getting bored and this is never good blessed be

well i had left mylot cause i had found some better than this one but i am again using it cause i find it very good. i made around 1000 posts in 10 days but i cant do it any more

of course it happens to each every body mostly, at the starting of the work we feel very interested to it upon doing this work we feel bored. if ur still getting bored of this work leave this work for about 2-3days and start again with fresh mind. have a nice day

It happen with me too. I dont have any idea about what I can start a new discussion. I stand down in my bed and start thinking about what I can tell. I dont create new topic for a long time because I dont have many idea. when I start one, I have only few responses and its not good for me and my earnings. My maximum topic responses was 29 responses. But now Im posting more pictures and making more responses, not so much.

why not take a break from the site for a day or so for a rest this may be all you need. I read an interesting post the other day from someone here who has started keeping a notebook to jot ideas down for later use. An idea that writers use is to cut articles and headlines from papers and magazines that they keep in a file and when they need inspiration they look through this. they also make note of interesting sayings and conversations for later use. Another guy on here was saying that now he had reached 500 posts and could copy and paste he ws going to start making posts and comments that he could save and copy and paste as needed later. I hope this helps but sometimes just a rest away can refresh us.
