Our friend here @saulgoodman just wrote a post wondering what to write about. You can read it right here, right now, at this minute. So, that is quite a coincidence, as I was wondering exactly the same thing a few minutes ago. Great minds think alike! I have quite a few ideas in my Notepad on what to write about, but somehow, today, I feel too lazy to put my ideas on my keyboard. I guess on days like these, it is better to just read new discussions and comment on them. Your take?
Sitting up in bed. Felix beside me. Its slow on here just now. Wondered what I could post about. Started playing around with the phone and in particular the...

Indeed. Many members seem to think that it's obligatory to exude a post every day. But it isn't. It's also not necessary to apologise if one is absent from the site for some time.

II am not one of these members who feels the need to post every day but I do indeed post here every day. Maybe because its new and interesting for me. Having been stuck in bed for most of the last two days this is about all I can do to break the tedium and it also distracts me from the constant pain I am in just now.

@MALUSE, You are right, there is no obligation to post a discussion every day.

You may be right. It seems slow. I did post two though, more than usual actually.

I'm never short of content to write about - often just a struggle to choose

@marlina the beauty of it is that the notes will keep until you are ready

@arthurchappell Yes, it is true, that's why I keep notes, otherwise I would never remember what I wanted to say.

I have some content in my Notepad, but just don't have the mental energy today to put it nicely together and post it.

I am not sure my mind is very great just now. And I do confess that my post isn't the longest or most interesting I have ever written. But hey it was more than one line and let me display the very poor resolution of the camera on the phone. Your picture at the top of this post is very similar to a picture I could take in daylight from the window of this bedroom. Its lovely. Sadly getting out of bed unaided at the moment is somewhat problematic. I was indeed reading new discussions but its its quiet and my mind wandered a bit - mywife says quite possibly due to the meds I am taking. Its a culture shock being bedbound for me as I am usually on the go all day and most of the evening. I will get hold of my wife's phone and post the view I referred to earlier.

If you are taking pain medicine, that would affect your thinking.

@marlina Maybe. But I can still count. I have to say to you that I think your comment about my post being very short is not fair I have spent some time counting words on posts today and believe me the 112 words I posted in that post is like a book compared to maybe 30 per cent of the posts I read lol I will try and write more words because it pays better doesn't it

@saulgoodman Since you seem to be pretty offended, I did edit my post and took out the word "short". I hope that it will make you feel much better. I do not think that "more words" pay more here at all.

That's what I do too. If I have nothing to post, I'll read and comment and like discussions.

When I run out of posts to read, I often post in the hope of generating a bit more activity. The place seems pretty quiet lately.

I usually write about sports or entertainment, but most of the time it's the first thing that pops into my head.

Learn from the pros.Make notes for future use. Surf the site and read interesting posts,that's what I'm doing today. The problem is there are so many posts that slip by because of the time difference. They are lost under a deluge of other posts.

That is what I do also, but sometimes, I just don't feel to write a whole post, just reading and commenting is enough.

I do wish we could save drafts here, sometimes I have partial ideas that I wanna polish more, and would love to have a store of half done discussions waiting for finishing

I often have the same trouble.... and can't always get on here everyday, and so it seems to 'feel' like I haven't written anything for ages... I also make notes when inspiration does come so it helps remind me what i was going to write about...

There are so many topics that we can write about, but sometimes, we just don't have the feeling for doing it.
