The other day I noticed a comment on my niece's face book page that really got my curiosity going. She said right off the wall, " It appears that there will always be a lot of things in life that I'll never understand." I made the comment back, "Am I missing something here? I'm curious." My niece really surprised me with a list of things that genuinely puzzled her. These ranged the whole gamut from scientific to philosophical.
Her list included things such as why do people wear jeans to a symphony concert?, how sound is recorded, life changes such as tadpole to fog and caterpillar to butterfly, why people suffer from others bad choices, plants surviving arctic conditions, man made highs and lows in the economy and brutal things people do. This is a list that really makes one sit up and think. Each idea can lead off in hundreds of directions.
I'm sure that for some of these questions Jocelyn will sooner or later find answers. Others will have to be open ended answers. What intrigued me was that she was thinking these thoughts and was smart enough to wonder out loud about them and then write them down.
So here I thought is a real topic generating machine. What great luck!
I'm sure that many bloggers find it difficult to come up with topics for their blog. I found it easy in Dec. when I did a Christmas theme. I'm going to sit down and see if I can come up with other themes. Sometimes topics come easily. I usually like to find a topic and roll it around in my head for a few days. When I start writing most of it comes very easy. I do the usual deleting a sentence here and there and adding other things. Sometimes things have to be moved. I learned this year that at certain times I should make something into two posts instead of one.
What really makes it easy is to have a bank of topics. So to start out 2011 I will have some topics to work with.
I find I am going over the same topics: but my blog is to illustrate cottage country.
ReplyDeleteI love watching the animals.
Participating in memes helps, too. I love My World Tuesday, and Skywatch Friday! My school blog doesn't get too much attention, but I'm working on that!
Or any controversy, like the wild turkey article in the paper. I loathe misinformation, as well as things that are simply not fair.
I have much to learn. I see that you divide your blogs into more defined topics. My blog is scattered all over the place. I like your last comment as we are on misinformation overload with the present Govt.Keep on enjoying the wildlife. Wildlife has certainly given me much to write about.
ReplyDeleteRed, I have an overly long list to topics; no problems there. Problem is getting my head in a place it can write on them, my multiple minds are all off in lala land. Always enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteBetter the minds off in la la land than somewhere else!!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you that one has to get the head in the right place to write. For me it's as much discipline as anything else. Thanks fro dropping by.
