My brain has stopped working, I haven't a clue what to write about, I am hoping some of you beautiful people will give me a kick. I have been thinking about writing all day but then get distracted by something else, or maybe that's just an excuse for having nothing else to say.
I have looked through members posts to see if it will give my brain a kick but nothing, I can actually hear the cogs going round, there not going round smoothly either think they need a oiling and maybe the odd tweak here and there.
Is it just me or am I doing something wrong, I think about something to write about, sit down open my laptop then load Submit a Story but haven't got a clue how to start it or where I am going to go with it.
What do you do when you can't think of something, or do you never have that problem.
Where do you get all your ideas from, do you have something that spurs you on with your next post, please tell me, advise me the way to go.
I wandered over here to check on you, see what you are up to since you support me so well as a Minnow to your work on here.
I liked this idea when you said this:
" -I have looked through members posts to see if it will give my brain a kick but nothing, I can actually hear the cogs going round, there not going round smoothly either think they need a oiling and maybe the odd tweak here and there...."
I think it is good you put that out there. Do you feel like you HAVE to put something out?
I would understand that but you are not on a deadline with a publisher sister lol.
OR ARE YOU?
hahahaha!
Write something about what you like doing for fun.
I wonder if the post earlier this week about family stuff burnt you out a bit, if you carried it for awhile.
You can rest. We will be here for you tomorrow. You have permission to do that when needed.
Thanks for your support on here.
Here is the photo from my blog post today! Have a good nite. Or day. IDK where you are lol

I get bad headaches so I have to get offline regularly, due to some injuries. You will want to check on my post I put up later -- 10 PM EST and you are about 5/6 hrs ahead of me depending on the season. I know bc I have relatives over there lol. It is about Standing Rock. It is short. I need to try posting things at different times to see what works and what doesn't. GBY and for me..... goodnight.

if you have an smart phone whip it out and record those ideas while you have them.
make sure you are taking time to feed your brain with experiances.
if you're still struggling a change of scene while you write can help, if you sit on your sofa typing try sitting at a desk or going in the garden (when it's not pouring down)
And don't worry about how it reads as your writing just get the thoughts out then go through and make sure it all flows nicely and leaving spelling, grammer and markdown for your 3rd edit.

I've had times where my brain feels like it was freeze-dried and the creativity on union break. Sometimes reading through someone else's post inspires a post of my own. Like, rather than leave a long comment, I might actually write a blog post and shout them out as the source. :)

Here is a partial list of techniques, from various sources, I used to give writing students to overcome block. The full list is on another hard drive and I'll dig it out:
Listen to some music that you really like.
Read something really bad. In your library you must have some book that is badly written. Read a bit of it.
Read part of one of your favorite books of all time.
Do not worry about your lead paragraph much at first, since you'll probably change it later anyway. Just start writing.
Begin by putting down some related ideas, or unrelated, and see if there are connections.
That's all I can remember on my first cup of coffee. I will add one that I did not tell students: smoke a joint, but only if it is legal in your country or state. :)
