Good day to all mylotters who are now enjoying the time participating in here. I just have a question. Do you love to write? Do you do it every day? In my opinion, one can improve his writing if he always writes. But, what if you could not think of anything to write at all?
Today is Monday in here and yours truly is very sleepy because of the rain. It likes my brain processing is too slow. I think I need to slap my face a bit so I will be awake. In addition to that, I could not come up with any specific topic to write about. But I feel obliged to write because my 31-day challenge that I set for myself is still ongoing. The last day of the challenge will be on 16th of August.

Oh, that is true! It is much better to write it down than to say those words to the people you are angry with.

@Beatburn Just do not give it to any person. Keep it on your own or throw it away once you released all your anger.

I like to write and there are times I can't think of anything to write. I wish I could remember who it was but she put a post on here about subjects to write about. She suggested you look through a magazine and things like that to come up with topics. Write about things that you like.

Yes, I remember that post. I usually read when before I write. That way, I can think of a topic. I was very busy yesterday studying my blog that reading did not become my priority.

I love writing that's why I own more than 10 journals and planners. I just don't force myself to write here on mylot at all.

I am lazy when it comes to writing in a notebook. I remember I posted about my penmanship problem. It is one of the reasons, I would just love to write here in Mylot. Everybody can read what I wrote because there is a standard font. I am glad no need to put my own penmanship here or else I will spread headaches.

10 journals? Wow, amazing love for writing. How I wish I can be that effective and efficient in such. I understand the importance of journals as I learned from Mr. Rohn but doesn't have the discipline to put it to serious practice. This is one thing I need to overcome.

I do like to write but I am more of a forum poster than a blogger. Some people love to blog and write lengthy articles but for me it needs to be short, MyLot, ForumCoin, these sites are perfect for me.

Hi @sprite1950. Thanks for sharing your experience. I haven't tried ForumCoin yet. Is it exactly the same as Mylot?

@sprite1950 So, it is faster to have earnings here than from there, right?

@annierose Not quite. It's a paying forum but the earnings are very low. They have a cap on 10 posts a day so you can't earn much but I like to answer and interact with the people there. Take a look, the owner is a really nice guy who comes from Ireland. It's legit and I have been paid many times but it takes forever to get there.

Yes, but I am still sleepy. I just make my cheeks a bit red. So it is like I already have a blush on.

@annierose Yes, call it free writing .. somehow it seems to bring up so many ideas that we couldn't think of when we tried.

@marlina I want to be a writer so I think if I want something so badly, I need to exert an effort no matter how tough it is.

@annierose It is a very different story then, if you want to be a writer, then, of course, you have to write a lot.

@annierose I've spent most of my time here when I'm not packing for my move. So I need to take some time to get back to my book and get it finished.

Yes, that is true!
What I mean is that I could not think of any particular topic that interest me and when I posted that discussion I really felt lazy. So I think that creative juices of words were not flowing that time.

Sometimes writers experience writer's block, a condition where one loses the ability to write.I think all writers have experienced that.

I do not slap myself very hard. Just enough to make it pink.
