  • What to write

    You ever feel like writing but then draw a blank on why you want to write or what to write about.  I do this a lot which is why I struggle with updating regularly.  I got to thinking about this and I might have an answer.  I do not have a lot of money so I don’t get out much.  I work in a place where I can’t talk about what I do because it is all
    ” Internal use only ” which is a big portion of my day.  Outside of work I come home and spend time with my wife and dog.  It’s great but not much to write about.  I got to thinking that maybe the real problem is that I over analyze things ( it’s part of my personality ) which holds me back from writing about every day things just because I find them boring.  I am not sure but one thing I am sure of is that I really have to update more because the act of writing on here really makes me feel good.  Any body else ever face this and if you do how do you over come it?

  • I saw awhile back where someone suggested using writing prompts  Such as
    I once thought I saw…
    I remember going to…
    I had a dream where…
    Favorite food, book, whatever, anything can make a good story.
    Like that!  I’ve used them sometimes, and they help.  Good luck!
