today is a really slow day for me. i have been thinking and thinking of what to post here in mylot and i cant seem to think of any topics of interest to discuss about. and when i browse through all the posted topics, i cant seem to find one that i would like to answer. i guess this is what writer's block is. when you cant seem to find the words to say something. anyways, do you have days like this too?

Yes, I felt the same way about a week ago. I started a discussion where my friends could respond, and we would talk about anything they wanted to discuss on that particular day. I thought it would be a good way to discuss a bunch of different things that might not be good discussion topics by themselves but would be good for several responses within a discussion. It worked out pretty well, and we had a lot of fun.

that is a pretty good idea and a great way to pass the time. getting in touch with friends is always a good thing.

hi there, Same here, I have days like that. I sometimes cannot share any ideas I have or I just got stuck reading on other members post. I sometimes read the blogs in here and news. I guess, sometimes our brain got drained from responding on topics or we simply exhausted from doing the things we do here in mylot. Good thing, we always have a chance to redeem ourselves and be active again the next day.

I have days like this all the time. And it truly is writer's block. Sometimes, I walk away from the computer, turn on some music, take the dog for a walk, and just let my mind wonder. If that doesn't help, I'll turn on the news channels and pick out something and write about that. Find ways to unblock your writer, find something that opens up your channels. These things work for me, find things that work for you. Do laundry, clean the bathroom, make the bed, wash your hair, carry a notebook with you (one of those small ones) and jot down things that occur to you to write about on Mylot. And then there will be days when you just have to walk away from it for a day. Good luck!

i do try those things. but i think the most helpful is watching tv. you could get great ideas from the news and other informative channels. thanks so much and happy mylotting.
