Remedy for: "I have nothing to post about..."
Does your creativity ever come to a screeching halt,
like you've hit a brick wall?

Ever so often, I hear someone announce, "I have nothing to post about..."
Here are some suggestions to get the creative juices flowing.
Consider writing about:
- your hobbies. Tell us what you do, and why you like those hobbies.
- your job, or the favorite job you once had, or what job you want.
- a guided-tour of your town, or the countryside near where you live. Show us some photos and tell us where you would take visitors.
- a challenge you overcame and how you persevered.
- favorite restaurant. Why is it special?
- favorite food or drink. What do you like about it?
- favorite book or author. And why?
- favorite movie. And why do you like it?
- favorite television show. And why do you like it?
- favorite childhood memories.
- your earliest childhood memory.
- favorite holiday. Why is it your favorite?
- favorite kind of music. What musicians do you like?
- something crazy that once happened which turned-out okay in the end.
- do you live in the area where you were born?
- –If yes, why did you stay?
- –If no, what prompted you to move away?
- Show us your house or apartment. How long have you lived there? Do you like it? Is there history behind it?
- what vehicle would you purchase, if money were no obstacle? And why that one?
- what sports you like. Are you a participant or a spectator? Why do you like that particular sport(s)?
- who or what brought you to the Steem blockchain.

The "rules" are included if you wish to follow the format rather than put your own twist to them. Making a post of the following types will help us learn about you, and also might provide more ideas for future posts:

Hi @thekittygirl, I just stopped back to let you know your post was one of my favourite reads and I included it in my Steemit Ramble. You can read what I wrote about your post here.
Join us on Thursdays for Pimp Your Post Thursday at 11am EDT or 7PM EDT in the Steemit Ramble Discord or:
If you’d like to nominate someone’s post just visit the Steemit Ramble Discord. If I use the post, you earn a portion of the rewards.
Pimp Your Post Thursday is a live curation show where you get to know others and they you. You can promote your post or someone you think needs more notice.
This is a great article and worth to be resteemed and bookmarked. Many times I have met with people saying they have nothing to post. You have just list out so many things... And I am sure there are many more.
I love to share my stories through challenges like ColorChallenge, MonochromeMonday, TreeTuesday, SunThursday, DailyFoodPhotography, DailyPetPhotography, etc.
Now I am in this 50 days contest by the @freewritehouse. I have been freewriting for quite some time now. Never thought I can make it this far. Thanks to our fellow Alliance member @mariannewest for starting the 5 minutes Freewrite.
Also I have started my own weekly challenge - MakeMeSmile, hoping to "help" those who have no idea what to post about and also to spread SMILE, LOVE and JOY!
💕💖 💓 💗
Thank you for the resteem, boomark, and adding to the suggestions! You rock! 😊
Geez, with that list of brain-starters, I won't be able to leave the computer for 20 hours.
So glad you feel motivated! LOL! 😊
Hmmm... funny thing... living in the area where you were born?
How about living in the house I grew up in... some 40 plus years later?
Actually, I had you in mind when I wrote that one, as with the "history of the house" suggestion! 😉
I don't usually go without something to write about very often, but I have to say you have made the "writers block syndrome" seem extinct with these great suggestions!
May I add one suggestion? A good old fashioned rant! In todays world, the way things are going, theres plenty of "ammunition" to write a good rant!
Great suggestion! Thanks for adding to the list! 😊
Yes even creative geniuses like you and me can have this problem lol ( j/k at least me being any kind of genius)
But great List @thekittygirl that you put here on this Post.
Very helpful, thank you :)
LOL! Thank you for the great comment! 😊
Well I should have read this prior to me writing my Daily Dose that I just published because I had nothing to write about. Thanks for the suggestions.
It doesn't seem to me that you had too tough a time... that chocolate bar, alone, was a great idea! 😊
Well, I went through several different thoughts before I finally landed where I did and that was all I could come up with was to just recount the day. I do normally have an easier time but honestly, it was a struggle for some reason last night.
Some really good tips here @thekittygirl. Some days it can be a challenge to come up with something to write about. This list that includes some current challenges is a really good place to check when I need some ideas.
LOL, I could actually put all those ideas in one post and call it a challenge. There are so many things we can write about, if I wonder what for today, I just make around of comments and see what my pals in Steemit are posting.
