LXXIX: Blogspiration!
“Where do you get the inspiration to write so many posts [over the years]?”
I get this question a lot!
Let’s call it “Blogspiration” and let’s say that it hits me at the most random of times! Now, I will start by saying that I have experienced multiple droughts where I just had absolutely nothing in the Creative Tank and just felt like such a loser for it. And then I’ve had times where I fully accepted that I had no new ideas and would rather skip a week than put out content that I don’t even like.
But, for the most part, inspiration for a new blog post strikes me as life happens!
For those who don’t know, I started my blog because I had kept a journal for as long as I can remember but felt as though my experiences and thoughts were relatable! So, I took to the streets with my thoughts and, to my surprise, they’ve been very well received.
Life, as I’ve experienced it, has been a crazy stream of goods and bads; crazies and calms; and adores and detests. So, my blog reflects much of that.
There are times when inspiration for a new post sparks while I’m at a grocery store and I just pull out my phone and put the title of the post in. Luckily for me and the way that I work, all I need is a blog post title and I can usually take it from there. The ideas just flow.
But, for bloggers out there struggling, here are some topics that I’ve covered and some that I haven’t. My hope is that this post will be helpful to any of you out there who may be suffering in the “new post” department:
