Are you chattier than usual today?

I don't do this consciously, but I've noticed that at the end of the month, just a day or two left to peak out the earnings, I seem to have a lot more to say. Every day of the month I go into my main interests and scout out all the discussions I can possibly contribute to, but some days it pretty meager, and I certainly don't have much to talk about as far as starting discussions. And then along comes the end of the month and my brain goes nonstop, my fingers can't keep up. Everyone seems to have an interesting discussion going!
Is this a normal myLot phenomenon? I haven't noticed it before. I've only been here about four months, but when I look back over my previous months earnings, they're always more the last two or three days!

OH yes! I forgot school started! I don't have children at home any more, so that's a factor I didn't consider. With more people having a little extra time, there are naturally more discussions!

I don't think that I'm chattier than usual but, I've got to say that there are times when I have absolutely nothing to say, call it writer's block or whatever they call it these days! If you find yourself in this situation then I guess it's good to invent something, and then eventually this should lead to other ideas and responses. Just talk, I think even the silly stuff is valid!!! Andrew

Usually at the end of the month everyone is active because everyone is trying to reach the minimum payout, or at least increase the amount they could cash out if they already reached it. That's why at the end of the month there are a lot of good discussions going on. Everyone is like you, chattier than usual. heheh.
As for me, there were days this past week that I've been really chatty, but unfortunately, today, two days before the end of the month, I'm just not in the mood. I see a lot of disussions I could contribute to but it's like my mind is blank. And I still have a dollar to go before I could reach payout...

UGHHH! And that dollar looks like an insurmountable mountain at this point. Good luck to you. I hope you make it.

I am not usually chattier than usual at the end of the month. I am this month though because I am at my sister's house and her internet is so much faster than mine. Also my laptop is broken but my husband set up his work laptop for me to use while mine is being fixed. I feel like I haven't been here at all lately, so now that I have the chance I am checking out all the discussions that I have been missing.

Slow internet connection is a really tough issue to deal with. I've only had high speed for about a year, and I do a lot more on the internet now than I ever could when I had dial-up.

I've been a member for six months and I always enjoy the end of the month when myLot becomes a lot more active, and I can find many more new discussions to respond to.
I think it happens every month, but this month end does seem to be a particularly good one. I think that may be because more people need to catch up because they have been away, or watching the Olympics, and have had less time to post.

Wouldn't it be great if we could all be "write on demand" writers?

Not today. And I'm talking about outside of the internet. Some days I am slightly more talkative than others. And I don't do this consciously either. It's a weird feeling I get sometimes. It's like I have to talk more about whatever and nothing, lol. So I know how you feel. I always post the same amount on my good and bad days. My really bad days are spent away from the computer.

Well.....I have been chatty quite lately that's because I want to reach my pay out by Sept 15 and hoooray I have qualified for the sept 15 payout. But since there's gonna be still another week or so before Sept 15, so why not chat some more to earn extra..........that's me.
