Is this writer's block?

For starters, I am not an actual writer. I write for Mylot, so that makes me somewhat a "writer", right? Anyway, as much as I want to start a discussion, I cannot think of any specific topic. I have so many topics planned throughout the day, but when I come in fornt of the computer opening Mylot, these topics seems to just disperse into thin air. Somebody would say, I should write on a notepad when an idea comes. Yes, I will try to do that. But even tapping on my notepad would even prove nearly improbable for me since I cannot free my hands that easy. Any other useful tips for me, please? Thanks.

I have that problem all the time so I use photos or videos I've taken to inspire me to write about that photo or video, otherwise I'd have nothing to write about.

I never have this problem. My life is plagued by Murphy's Law, weird people and happenings, so I never lack something to write about. lol

@rebelann Oh you do. That is actually an excellent idea! I am going to follow your strategy. Also, I like your pic. The expression on your dog is somewhat fitting being sat on by a cat. hehe

Real writer or simply putting words on a page, sometimes you're going to stare at a blank screen. It just goes with the territory. But the nice thing about myLot is that you can write about just about anything you want, and so it makes the fodder for things to write about much more plentiful. You can write about your day, or what you had for breakfast. You can write about how much you enjoyed your coffee and what you plan to do tomorrow. You can write about how you're feeling or something you saw in the news that you found interesting. Or you can just write about having nothing to write about. lol

@porwest why yes, pretty much so. Write about something somehow. Write about having nothing to write, I like that haha

@__iVl___ It's part of the joy of myLot. You can write about nothing or write about everything. On the way to the computer if you stub your toe, you can write about how bad it hurt and the bad words you said when you did.

@porwest Yes I totally agree. Hello fellow Mylotters. I am supposed to write something here, but here I am still thinking what to write, and what is it about. Teehee.

To solve things immediate, use a regular pen and book. Whenever an idea comes, write in down in your own words and keep it . Write one idea at a time and that helps to capture the idea in full and not in parts. It is easier to write things own than to note it in your phone or laptop. When time perimits, use the ideas from the book and then visit mylot. Avoid overthinking and stress as noth of these can cause indirectly writer's block. Good Luck!

Hi @RevivedWarrior Thanks for this valuable tip! Now I have to get used to carrying a little pocket notebook and pen. For example when I am doing something else and my mind tends to wander, then I would have to take down keywords and expand later on. Yes, this is really helpful!
