Who's reading Dicconzane (21):
Well after wasting my earlier post on a topic I later discovered has already been gone through I thought I'd try again. Since I was obviously so unorriginal with my last post and noticing we have a lot of creative peeps here. Where do you go and what do you do when you need to find inspiration? Do you go somewher quite? Do you prefer to be around people? Do you sit until something comes to you or do you take your mind off it waiting for that spark?

    And checked and hooray, huzzah and such. Nothing below is quite on the topic of what people do when they need creative inspiration.

    For me I tend to take my mind off things if I'm really stuck and come back to it... or go do something else creative, like if I'm stuck writing to go and play guitar, or stuck writing a song go and write a poem etc. I find for me the block only gets more stubborn the more I try to force it, but if I turn my back and pretend I don't care it gets bored and slinks off to annoy someone else.

    i reach into my past when i can't think of anything to write.  i'll try to remember a moment and then write about it.  i can usually think of something.

    another thing i do is keep a file on the computer of potential blog topics.  sometimes when i'm driving or as i'm reading someone else, an idea will come to me, and while i might not be in the mood to blog about it then, i save it for another day....

    when i need inspiration, i tend to find it in the unlikeliest of places: conversations w/ friends, reading an e-mail, news sites...all of it is grist for the mill.

    oddly, nyquil asked the same thing in her own blog.

    Diccy-  so many of us have blogged on topics that were similar.  It just shows that we are thinking along the same routes at times.
    I don't go anywhere for inspiration, I can sit in my house and feel inspired plus enlough has happened in my life that I can blog about, I love coming on here and being silly.  It is a real outlet for me.  You never have to write about something intelligent, ot thought provoking.  Just write about what ever you feel you need to or want to. :)

Yesterday I received a very, very exciting e-mail which contained two huge pieces of news. I couldn’t say anything yesterday until I’d confirmed some of the details, but now I can make the following announcements....
A little different format, but that's OK, it's my blog....
Giving out thanks....
At what point does intelligent return to idiocy?...
English is weird....
