You’re creative, Bev, because look at all the things you have going for yourself. Course, you and all those Blogger blogs one day need to move to your own platform, yet you have lots of them and each one talks about something different.

I can’t say I’m not influenced by what I read or see, but I do make my own decisions based on what I absorb. I think that’s important also, to maintain your own sense of perspective no matter where you get your information from.

I see my life as a testimony and it is in my writing that I am able to share my thoughts and feelings very candidly. I don’t know if you would call that creative” per se, but I do see it as a way to help someone else who may be going through something similar but just not know how to express it or too shy to say anything.I have never allowed myself to be influenced by what I see and read–I worked in media too long to know what the REAL deal is.

Mitch, you’ve made my day.. thanks for your kind words.
This blogging is not as easy as it looks and when you are struggling for comments on your posts, it can be hard work.
I’ll keep in touch.

I like your blog, Keith, and it’s a niche I’m working to get into more and more, so just keep writing.

Actually Keith, you could employ a technique I often used for my business newsletters. People love stories; always have. So, what I usually do is decide on the topic I want to write about, then I tell a story that includes that concept in some way, or that, if people followed that concept, that certain event wouldn’t have happened to them. I did that type of thing with my recent post on comparing internet marketing to pot odd in poker. If you’d like to see an example of how I did it in a newsletter, click here.

Hi Mitch
“what to write about”
At the moment I’m finding it easy on my blog because it’s new and I have lots of things that I want to say.

Where I do have problems with creativity, is when writing a speech for a competition.
The subject has to be meaningful to the audience but it has to be fresh and a subject that will inspire or at least make the audience think.
No “battle of the sexes” or “we watch too much TV” or “how can we stop global warming”…. something powerful and original.

Anybody got any ideas?

Yeah, that’s about a generation and a half. To me, anyone who wasn’t alive when there was only black and white TV is a kid. lol

Nah. I believe that 10 people writing about the same thing should have 10 different takes on it, even if they all agree on it. Now, when two people say the same exact thing with almost the same exact words, that’s when you usually know someone is just copying another person’s words. I’ve read your stuff; you’re easily unique, even if I can’t identify the team on your hat. lol
