I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel as if I need to post something, but either:
1. nothing snappy comes to mind.
2. something snappy comes to mind, but I already wrote an awesomelishish post about it and double-dipping just isn’t how I roll.
3. something snappy comes to mind but it’s come to a whole lot of other minds, too.
So I get stuck.
Well, I found a website with 81 different ideas for blog topics. Click here if you want to see the site, but I’m going to share the inspirational ideas that came to me after scanning the list.
I gave their topics some thought and here’s what I came up with. I’ll be selective–81 is a lot of topics to mess around with.
1. Health & Fitness for Busy People. Stop sitting down to read blogs and go do something physical not involving a vigorous walk to get fast food.
2. Language Learning Blogs. Start with your native language and make sure you’ve mastered that one. It’s harder than you think.
3. How to Travel on a Budget. Sounds uncomfortable. Traveling on a plane or a cruise ship sounds much nicer.
4. Ghost Hunting. Only if the ghosts are released after they are captured. You wouldn’t want to scare them, would you?
5. The Vegan Diet. No. Don’t. Readers will cancel their subscriptions to your blog. Why? They already know giving up meat and dairy is better for them, but they don’t want to be reminded.
6. How to Become Famous. I wouldn’t try this unless you’re already famous and, if you are, you’re probably not spending your precious fame time writing a blog.
7. Becoming a Wine or Beer Connoisseur. I bet this would be a popular blog topic. I’m assuming it involves drinking lots of wine or beer, a favorite pastime among a majority of people who aren’t Amish, babies, and convicted felons in solitary confinement. None of these types are likely to be blogging anyway. (Although it’s interesting to think that these three groups have at least one thing in common, isn’t it?)
8. Building a Boat and Crossing the Pacific Ocean in it. Good luck with that. Take plenty of pictures with a waterproof camera for the rescue team. It helps in identifying your remains (if there are any and if anyone finds what’s left of you).
9. How to be a Real and True Friend. This assumes you need instruction on discerning real people from imaginary friends. If you do, you need more help than a blog.
10. How to Train for a Triathlon. The possibilities are almost endless. There’s the Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner Triathlon, the Bowling/Billiards/Darts Triathlon, the Sleeping/Snacking/Napping Triathlon, the TV/Blogging/Reading Triathlon, the Laundry/Dishes/Dusting Triathlon, the Walking/Resting/Walking Back Triathlon…Each has different rules and training schedules.
All of these were ideas on the website I referred to above. If you want more ideas than the ten I listed, just go to that site. Maybe something on there will inspire you like it did me.

Great idea. I’ve been so busy planning this non-wedding that I didn’t consider it! 🙂
Sep 07, 2014 @ 22:04:03
Lorna, you have a perfect blog subject: getting ready for a non-wedding. Bet no-one’s done that topic 🙂
Sep 06, 2014 @ 10:16:53
I want to hear anything you have to say, you wise woman, you! 🙂
Aug 31, 2014 @ 07:50:42
hahaha … I always have something to say. My problem is I sensor it because the world shouldn’t be constantly shocked. LOL It’s a public service I’m doing. 😃
Aug 31, 2014 @ 00:40:25
That’s great! 🙂
Aug 30, 2014 @ 20:35:02
If there is a bottom, these two must be near it…or at it. Let’s hope it doesn’t get much worse than this (I’m such an optimist). 😉
Aug 30, 2014 @ 13:30:34
*sigh* – this implies 2 dumb-bells: the one who wanted the tattoo and the other one who did the work.
I despair at the dumbing-down of the world. There seems to be no bottom 😦
Aug 30, 2014 @ 13:09:23
Interesting. That wasn’t on the list of 81 possible topics, but it sure could be. 🙂
Aug 30, 2014 @ 13:08:27
Yup, it’s a real tattoo, displayed with the pride of someone not having the knowledge that something is terribly amiss. 😐
Aug 30, 2014 @ 13:06:07
Well, then, I might just have to make that the topic of a blog post…The reasons why you won’t want to read this post about being a vegan. 😉
Aug 30, 2014 @ 13:04:11
I’ll look forward to your essay on boiling cabbage, Peter! 🙂
Aug 30, 2014 @ 13:03:20
Getting closer. Half way through the second major edit and just saw the first version of the cover. Exciting! 🙂
Aug 30, 2014 @ 13:02:21
So true. Maybe if we don’t have anything to write about, we shouldn’t be blogging that day! 🙂
Aug 30, 2014 @ 13:01:08
About #1-true. Maybe people should invest in one of those treadmills. They could blog and walk at the same time!
About #2-Their typos would be worth it, if nothing else! 🙂
Aug 30, 2014 @ 09:12:53
About # 1- If people aren’t sitting down to read your blog, but walking instead, imagine what that will do to your stats. I propose a post on eating ice cream while reading blogs.
About # 7. That sounds right up my alley. And think of the interesting posts an inebriated writer would make. 😉

Isn’t it astonishing the way we labor to create a blog posts that may or may not be read … and … usually isn’t. ??!!
It might be best to just post or write about the tiny things we know about.
One can hope … Right???
Happy Weekend, mi amiga : )

Thanks for the inspiration, Lorna. I have no doubt that your zany brain is not brimming over with exciting ideas to write about…given the time. How is your book coming along?
Aug 29, 2014 @ 11:05:18
Loads of good ideas there, of course, but whatever you write about always has an amusing and unusual slant on it, which I pay more attention to than the topic on most occasions. Your take on life is what matters. You could talk about boiling cabbage for all I care although. Hang on. Boiling cabbage….. I’m getting one or two ideas already 🙂
Aug 29, 2014 @ 10:20:34
haha, don’t write about being a vegan cracked me up. xoxo ❤
Aug 29, 2014 @ 07:07:39
Great inspiration list! #2 jumped out at me – language skills. Please, please, please tell me that’s not a real tattoo!!!
Aug 29, 2014 @ 02:27:30
