One of my friends, the illustrious and mysterious Mister E., has a 360 group which is looking for blog topics to add to a list which will serve to be the muse for those who find themselves without inspiration. Personally, I find that I write as the mood strikes me in those little in-between times that life offers. If I didn’t take those opportunities as they presented themselves, I’m sure I wouldn’t write at all. For those of us who choose a busy life, these little escapes are very necessary and tend to be the only option. I have tried setting a time in the evening, after my day was complete, to sit and write in earnest. Some of you may remember that bleak and barren time. I didn’t post a blog for a solid month. Some things cannot be planned, at least not in my current state of affairs.
However, I have on occasion; found myself with a deluge of ideas to write about and no computer handy with which to record them. Typically, as soon as I find a computer the ideas vanish as if they were vapor.
So, in the interests of sharing, I thought I’d make a short list of topics that are currently on my mind, ideas which may or may not come to fruition. If you see a topic that just dazzles you, let me know, I may give it more thought if there’s interest. Or perhaps there are ideas you have that you would like me to write about…a writer’s challenge perhaps. I’m simply brainstorming here. It is said that you should write what you know, but it is also a good exercise to stretch your wings a little and try something new.
So, without further adieu, here are the ideas currently percolating:
The OC, the good and bad of the illustrious Orange County
Huell Howser, California’s Gold or where did he get that accent?
The Continuing Jakester Files, always in process.
Surfer Rider Foundation, beach awareness.
That QuickBooks Series (Yes, Will, I’m still pondering how to present this)
My brother’s triathlon in full color. This would take learning a new skill (multiple picture posting, which I just figured out) and finding out if my bro wants to be ‘in the news.’
My fifteen minutes of fame, or the story of how I got involved in taking 100 women to Alaska to meet men.
More on personal discovery, topic depends on the day’s musings.
More fictional stories. I’m not sure if there’s any interest here, except my own desire to learn how to form and execute a full plot, but I thought I’d include it.
Art History - I minored in art history and plan on becoming an art restorationist for my next career. This may be a topic I'm not qualified to write but I would enjoy trying my hand at research.
More recipes from Frenchie Pooh.
Frenchie Pooh blog to come….it’s her birthday tomorrow! Happy Birthday Frenchie! She may be one year older but she’s still younger than me. Ask her, she’ll tell ya!
Well, that’s all that comes to mind at the moment. I’m interested to know what you want to read and also how you approach your own creative process.
I would like to give all my friends a writing challenge. I would love to read about your thoughts on your local area, state, etc. Some of you do an amazing job at giving the rest of us a bird's eye view of your hometown, like Eddo, for example...others, I have no idea where you live, lol.
If you choose to take the challenge, happy writing!
