Now that I'm obsessed with Mylot, I have several strategies. Throughout the day when something pops into my head, I write it into a little notebook that I keep in my purse. It's intended use is for grocery shopping lists, but works well as mylot reminder list as well. The second one is slightly less involved. I just look around on main sites, like aol, yahoo, cnn, and my local news. One one/all there is always something interesting/dumb enough to comment about. I usually check to make sure no one else has posted about it first, then post. Good luck! Great question too, maybe I can find some other places to look.

That's a good idea about the notebook. I carry one anyway for other reasons, so I think I'll start doing that.

Yes, I really hate that, first of all because I like starting discussions. It is difficult to find a discussion I have something to say about so I am really grateful to people who start so many discusssions and I can choose among them so I like to start discussion to do my part and extend the choice for other people so it gets frustrating when I can think of anything interesting. Then I just start responding to descussions and while I do that I see an interesting discussion and it gives me an idea what to write about. That's my way to get the inspiration. What's most difficult is to start writing once when you start the rest will just flow...

Ofcourse yes. It happens to everyone and we feel very frustrated. My advice is to keep calm and let the time go on. Later on you can make some good decisions.

yes..it has happened to me when the discussion is country oriented or from different field of study...the best thing would be not to feel for it..u may find a better topic and where u can easily respond once u go on for the discussion and interest oriented search would definitely help..it would have happened to everyone at one point of time..just chill and make your mind to face a day giving full of responses or even a day just going through others responding...u learn a lot from others responses...

Frustrating, isn't it? Everything wrong with the world, loads of interests, and I can't think of anything to start a discussion about. It's like my brain's frozen.

Hi,coolcarinc I think you can talk something about what you like or dislike;or your thinking about something;your hobbies and so on.I think you'd better start a topic most people interested if you want to get more sparks. Have a good posting.
