Do you ever just sit there thinking, “What the heck can I write about?” I’m doing it a lot lately and today is no different. I sign up to the prompts that WP offers but everyday it appears, it states that I have already answered the question, so I presume I’ve answered all that WP offers in prompt form. That surprises me in this day and age of technology, why are new prompts not refreshed on a regular basis?
I’m calling it Blog Block.
I know creative writers suffer with writers block, and that creates big issues for them. I guess it’s the same as being a craftsman and having your most productive tools taken away from you. Not very convenient or productive.
I’m not a creator in anyway, let’s clear that up.
My problem is that I believe I lead quite a mundane and everyday existence and there is absolutely no interest in what I do or have to say in that case. Millions if not billions of people lead the same life and just get on with the day. However occasionally there are little peaks and troughs in day to day life that are worthy of a few words, but that is all. It amazes me how many people I follow on this platform have such a wide and varied, and consistent supply of good content. This is where I struggle.
The prompts helped me I must admit, and now I’m just like an engine without that spark plug, and the prompts were that spark I needed to get the motor going.
How does everyone else overcome this malaise in creativity? Because to be honest I’m struggling at the moment.
I’m probably just going to fill my pages with drivel like this until my productivity engine kicks into life.
It could be a long and tiresome journey. Bring plenty of refreshments and maybe a pillow.
Have a wonderful day and stay safe….and productive 👍

This is precisely why I write in response to prompts all the time. If left up to my own devices, I would post a bunch of blank pages.

Anytime! Perhaps you could compile a list and make a whole post about it. I wish I had done that in the past when I was doing my own research because not only does it potentially help others (like me, ha!), then you have them in a convenient place on your own blog to quickly pull them up.

When I am really desperate I’ll go outside wordpress for prompts. Just enter key phrase blog prompt ideas and then bookmark the results. Granted, I’m kind of picky about prompts so I may read 20 or 30 of them across various sites that I deem worthy of using.

I’ve started to do that today funny enough, plenty out there, and some good ideas, but nothing that quite hits the spot. I guess if I keep searching just like you say, something will crop up. I’m going to make notes of any ideas that do arise though, and just maybe I might be able to formulate something worth writing about. Thanks for your comment, most appreciated 🙏

With blogs, and my art, I go and do something random and try to forget about it. The pressure to “I have to create something, anything” often stops me from being any kind of creative or introspective. Also, I find I get a lot of ideas just brain dumping my feelings. I’ll have one sentence in the mess of chaos my brain spat out, and think oh I can write a whole blog post on that or that gives me an idea for what i want to draw.
Also, i find my ideas come in spurts, try to write them all down for when my brain is running on empty with the creativity, as sometimes, it just wants a break. It’s probably busy catastrophising something, I don’t know.

That’s really good advice, god knows I get a ton of randomness out of my brain space on a daily basis😂. You never know, that might just work. Thank you 🙏
