What To Write About

During the past few days, I took to roaming around the web. By roaming, I mean visiting the usual sites I normally visit. I noticed many had not been updated in a week or so. Holidays will do that to you I suppose.

Then I came across a co-worker’s blog which, though not updated daily, it was a lot more recent than others I had seen. Josh’s blog is about life, reaction, happenings and successes and what is being learned.

He had written about Amazon shipping (or not shipping) a gift he bought, police cars keeping him from his house, the proper way of heating up oatmeal and bananas and a host of other things.

I started wondering how he found so much to write about.

The obvious part is, he is writing about what happens to him, his reactions to it, and shares his thoughts with anyone who will stop by and read.

So maybe that is what is needed to get things moving even further along than they are. Find something simple which happens during the day, write about it, twist it, write a poem about it, create a greeting card from it, write a short play or monologue or the like.

See what happens, let the words flow and see what your thoughts are in the process.
