Hello, and Good Afternoon.  I am hanging out here in Corona, Ca; at work and decided to drop a quick note to you all..

Have you ever found yourself being confused on topics, that interest you?  What I mean is, have you ever tried to think of a single topic, but several pop out in your mind and you can not decide on what you wish to write on, in your blogs?

It's funny, as it has happened to me just today.  Now, I figured would be a good time to do this afternoons blog post, on that subject and how to over-come that obsticle in your blogging, writing choices.  In the past, I have urged you to write what your passionate about.  However, what if your passions are wide spread?  You go to write about one thing, and another thought process comes in.

Here is a tip, that may assist you.  It's called "Free Writing" and it is very effective.  But when you have multiple thoughts and ideas hitting your mind all at once and they all are trying to get out of your mind, onto paper, "free writing'' is perfect.  Here is what you need to do, which will probably help you out.

You see I have a program, that I downloaded the other day, and it's free if you have an ipad, or I believe Iphone also has the same availability in the App Store.  It's called "Ever Note" and I have downloaded a copy of it on my Toshiba Laptop as well.  So, I KNOW EVERYONE CAN GET TO THIS APP.        Anyway, I use this app to do my open or Free-Writing and you can too.

All you need to do, is to open up the application and start a new notebook.  When you open the notebook, add in a new file and put a title on it, like: "Blog Posting Ideas"  (Just a suggestion.)    I find a place that is quiet and where I am able to get my mind alone with the pad or note I wish to use and let my fingers just wonder over the key pad, writing everything down, that jumps out. 

Now, dont worry so much about the order, or organization of the notes, or even the contextual or spelling.  At first anyways!
When you are finished and all the ideas are typed into the note pad, you can re-read what you have put in, and sort out the ideas which pertain to one or more blogs.  Go in and seperate the ideas and thoughts, then take each one and write more thoughts in the same vein or context you originally used.

If you are angry about something, put it in maybe a blog where you can vent on that subject.  If you are happy, and full of ideas which have come out pertaining to another blog, you can ellaborate on that as well on the corresponding blog.
Even if you can not decide which blog, or writing site you wish to put this stuff on; Then save the information for future use.  

You will be amazed at the times when you refer back to these notes, or journal entries, how they will spark something which will be a masterful blog entry.  I remember some time ago, I did this and decided I just had too much on my mind, to sit and write on a particular blog.  My mind was rushing so fast, I just could not settle it down, to decide what to say.

In despiration, I went back to some notes, in my journals and in my Ever Note app., and was inspired to write about writer's block and the information I had previously put out on that app. helped tremendously!   After posting the blog, and later publishing a HubPage post, I was amazed at the comments and feedback I received from my readers and site visitors.   

Anyways, I know this does not really pertain to this particular blog, but on the other hand, it does; as everyone experiences the problem with coming up with content that is fresh, and original for their blog(s).  

This has been a Sharing Moment, which I believed might be helpful if you ever get stuck on ideas to write about.

Happy Blogging
Gary
