Blog Inspiration

Helene in Between
What inspires me to blog?

Honestly, I couldn't give you just one answer. There's no one thing that inspires me, such as a song or place or idea. Mainly I get my blog ideas while I'm drifting off to sleep, or while I'm at the gym or doing some grocery shopping or sitting in a bathroom. I never know when my next big idea will hit me.

Sometimes I get ideas and then forget about them and then I'm really aggravated with myself until I finally remember again (usually as I'm falling asleep) just to start the whole process over again. I have several "posts" in my draft categories that are really just a sentence, from when an idea struck. I usually come back to these and finish out the post when I can't think of anything else.

When I'm having a really hard time figuring out what to write, I just start typing random thoughts, lists, or letters to people. Sometimes I'll reference the Twitter and write about a trending topic. I've seen other bloggers tweet, asking for some subject matter, and those posts usually turn out pretty humorous. (Maybe I should try?) Sometimes I just browse Pinterest until an idea sparks. If nothing else, I can plan my nonexistent wedding look at funny pictures of cats.

Sometimes I like to go to Starbucks after the gym when I don't have to go to work, it's usually to do homework/projects for school, but I find that any place where I'm "alone" (I don't have anyone to distract me) is a good place for me to get some blogging done. If nothing else, I can just people watch and write about that.
 Sometimes I find really old pictures on my phone and just want to share them because I miss my lil girl so bad. Also because, how freaking cute is she?

What I guess I'm really saying here is that I'm inspired by life in general. I love to write about issues floating around in my head or just my observations on a certain topic. I don't classify myself as a certain "type" of blogger. I write for YOU, my wonderful readers, in hopes that I can make you laugh, shed some light, or at least find someone out there sitting behind their computer screen saying "Yep, me to."

Wow Kalyn, love love love this. I like to think I'm like this too. I wrote about whatever struck a cord in my life- whether it's funny or weird or interesting. Life in general is the best inspiration!

Love this! Sometimes there's not really just one thing.

You and I are clearly the same type of blogger!! Finding inspiration in everything! I hate it when I have an idea as I drift off to sleep because, poof it is gone if I don't write it down.

Oh and hi that picture is my favorite ever.

Stopping by from the link up! I love that picture. So sweet and hilarious! It's good that life inspires you, everybody needs a little of that.

um how cute are you? I'm dropping by from the linkup to. I swear we are motivated to write by the same things. sometimes I have a thought for my blog as I'm trying to sleep and it just keeps me up all night cause I can't stop thinking about it. glad to have met you at this partay!

How adorable is that picture! I can't tell you how many notes are in my phone of random things I want to blog about...nvm all the drafts :)

I definitely think lists are the easiest way to create a blog post! And I totally have sentences for like 80 posts written... but I never have the motivation to actually finish the darn posts!

stopping by from the linkup!

my fav posts to read are the random ones because that's a true account of how the blogger is feeling at the moment.

JumpingJE said...

Yay for inspiration in old iPhone photos! Why create new content when you've already got it! :)

it's so true, life in general is what inspires me! even if it comes at random times like when you're in the shower and can't write it down in your drafts!
