Is it just me? Why is it so slow going with MyLot?

Just make sure the pictures are copyright free or your own just to avoid any controversy. When you post you affirm you have rights to the picture. Just because pictures are on the internet, some people think the pictures on the internet are free but they are not unless specifically it says you can use them. People think it is the other way around, that you can use them unless someone says you cannot.

Thank you for your response. I will definately be looking into inserting pictures and see what type or if they make any difference for me. Thank you again and have a great day.

Thank you very much for your response and advice. I will definately take everything you have told me to heart and utilize it to the best of my ability. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post. Have a great day!!!!

I notice that you say that your kids aren't at school, so you get lots of interruptions. I sympathise with you, in that case! Although I don't have to cope with small kids any more (if anything, it would be grandkids now, LOL!), I know very well what interruptions can do when one is writing! I tend to type as I think, so if I get interrupted, it completely disrupts the flow of what I'm saying. Perhaps the answer would be (if it were possible) to say 'Right, I am working for 30 minutes (or an hour or whatever) and after that I'll take a break and give you my attention!' It depends on the age of the kids (or the comprehension of spouse, LOL) whether this actually works. I have found that when I'm in the house and 'on the computer' (as I usually am), I am considered to be 'playing' and therefore interruptible at any time. Perhaps my problem is that I can't show convincing evidence that I'm 'earning' ('pin money' doesn't count, does it!) If you do write (or have aspirations to write for a living), MyLot is quite a good training ground. Try picking half a dozen discussions on which you think you might be able to write a couple of paragraphs, open them in tabs and respond to each one; then try picking the same number of discussions at random, regardless of whether you think you know anything about the subject or whether there seems to be anything worth saying, and tell yourself that you will write a couple of paragraphs to each one, even if it's 'What is your favorite ice cream?' or 'What color are your eyes?'! The trick is to think laterally: 'Why do people prefer vanilla or chocolate rather than, for example, onion or chilli flavoured ice cream?' or 'Why does eye color matter?' or even 'What is this person REALLY asking and why?' Even if many discussions seem, to say the least of it, uninspired, if one is to to be a professional writer, one must have an agile brain that ought to be able to put out a few competent paragraphs on anything (sometimes helped by a little research, perhaps). Using such uninspired and uninspiring topics can be a brilliant way of challenging the brain to add value to something that was, maybe, of little value to start with. With any luck, you may actually goad the person who posed the trite topic in a fit of boredom to actually take a fresh look and learn to think for themselves!

I thank you for your time and your suggestions. I will continue down the path that I have already gone and hopefully I will start seeing some changes here soon. Some posts are difficult to give lengthy responses to but I will definately work on that aspect as well. Thank you again. Have a great day!

I do enjoy many of the discussions here on mylot which is why I respond to them. I have been trying every new technique that has been suggested to me and am sure that once I get further down the road and have been able to spend more time on here that things will start to go alot better for me. Thank you for your response and have a great day!
