Not how I do it. I write it in a notepad and then edit it and then post it.

@JolietJake ....A lot of people do that. I just like to have a copy of everything I write.

@JolietJake If my computer is in front of me I write it right then but when I don't have it with me I write a few words that remind me what I wanted to write about. Sometimes if I don't have a pad with me I send myself a text. I always have my cell on me.

I've seldom used notepad or anything, I usually just crank them out in real time

@Lolaze Nope, and thankfully he didn't go down the groundhog den...he's shown quite a bit of interest in it

It's this thing where you try to talk about this thing and other people talk about this thing with you or something like that

Sometimes I am like that. It is not that easy for me to start my own discussion especially if I have never read anything so I do not have any idea what to write about. That is why when I cannot think what to discuss about, I just prefer to look for discussions and then just give my comments.

I normally have something, or can invent something, but I was just running into a wall...

Lots of times I'll come here with a discussion already in mind and only have to think of a decent title...and the title can sometimes makes all the difference

@JolietJake I'm fine. I've just been ridiculously busy and travelling for work with crappy wifi access.

I usually have something to say, even when it is really nothing, but I have those moments when there is just nothing at all

I find that is exactly what happens when we don't have a clue what we want to write about.

That's about right. Sometimes I just do the keyboard equivalent of babbling.

Lately I haven't even been able to babble...kind of closed off inside myself

@JolietJake I always think of things when I am out so I try to keep a small pad in my pocket and write something about it and hopefully I will take care of it when I get home. Sometimes I find it weeks later in a pocket.
