Notes, prompts for my blog
When you write a blog, a fundamental question is "What am I going to write about?" Some people write when they have an urge or reason and not otherwise. That approach leads to many days of no-writing. It seems to me that most starting attempts die off but I am not sure what the main causes are.
I have found that even though I am no longer young, I get lots of ideas, memories and experiences that might be the subject of a blog post. I get enough possible topics each hour that I lose them if I don't make a note of them. Google reports I have 5698 posts or slightly over 90% of the days that have passed since I started on March 29, 2008. I have deliberately skipped days when I was traveling since such days are often busy and a connection to the internet can be iffy.
I use my judgment when I have something come to mind that might be a blog post. If it seems current and likely, I make a note, possibly a few words, enough to remind myself of what the notion is. I separate the first five notes from any further ones just so I have a small set to choose one from.
