I've started and erased this post approximately 3,000 times this morning. It's all been garbage or stupid, ridiculous rambles. My heart is so not in it right now. I've noticed that this is a common blogger thing. Sometimes the post ideas will be rolling in and coming into my head faster than I can type them. Sometimes.. Not so much. Right now is one of those times.
BUT THEN...
I started to think about all of the posts I'd love to read right now and posts I'd love to tweet and share with others. So I got smart and I made a little listy-mclist!
- Without deleting anything, post the last 10 pictures on your photo roll on your phone. Feel free to explain OR keep us guessing.
- Find your last Target receipt. Post what you bought. This could be laugh out loud hilarious.
- Top 10 favorite Harry Potter quotes (books or movies). Any and all Harry Potter posts are my favorite.
- Photos of your messy house or apartment. I want to know you aren't perfect either!
- If you could get paid to write a sponsored post about anything, what would it be?
- Go ahead and write that non-sponsored sponsored post.
- A quick pro and con list on blogging. It's not all rainbows and butterflies, be honest.
- The worst movie you've ever seen. (and how would you make it better?)
- If you could be an actor in a TV show, which TV show would you choose and why?
- Write me a short story. Include me in it if you must. (wink wink)
- Photo an hour! I love those!
- Plan a pretend vacation to a place you really want to visit.
- Just list a ton of really corny jokes.
- The last time you cried. Tell me all about it, girl!
- A DIY post. I'm a sucker for all things DIY.
- A thank you note to an inanimate object. (hi, sweet sweet memory foam mattress, thank you so)
- Where do you write your blog posts? Show me, tell me!
- Write an opinion or rant about a popular news headline right now (missing Malaysian airplane, anyone?)
- Test a bunch of different chocolate chip cookies recipes and post which one is actually "the best"!
- Create a survey! Major bonus points for pie charts and colorful graphs afterwards with the results.
- Live blog a TV show or movie.
- Live blog your day!! OMG, DO THIS!
- Top 5 favorite wines.. List 'em. Now.
- A Q&A with you grandma or grandpa!
- What supernatural things do you believe in or not? (aliens, bigfoot, ghosts, etc.)
- Top 10 things you've learned from Criminal Minds. (i could probably make a top 25)
- Tell me about your morning routine. I'm nosey.
- Twitter worldwide trending topics, chat about them.
- Instagram popular page.. Let's talk about them
- Pick an object (or two or three), don't tell us what it is, describe it, then have us guess!
- Live blog a party.
- This time last year, what were you writing about? Review your own blogging.
- Write a very detailed step by step guide of a simple task. Make it funny, kids!
- Take a photo of your desk RIGHT NOW and explain yourself.
- If it wasn't illegal, would you do it?
- Make a list of blog post ideas.
Listen, as I was making that list, I got a brilliant idea. So, ATTENTION:
If ANYONE uses one of these prompts, send me your post and I will broadcast the crap out of it! I will also be your bestie best, best friend for life! Seriously, seriously, SERIOUSLY!
That is all for the day.
Please use these prompts because some of these were some really good ideas of posts I would totally love to read.
I'm not kidding.
Do you understand that?
I. Am. Not. Kidding.
Kapeesh?!
Awesome post ideas! I will definitely be using some of these in the future, thanks girl!
ReplyDeleteI think I could easily post the picture of my desk right now. But it would be pretty embarrassing. It would also qualify for #4, which you said "messy house or apartment" but this is way more realistic. My house is nowhere near as messy as my desk. I think it's because my mind is calmer at home ;)
ReplyDeleteFun! Ha-ha is it okay that my last 10 photos would all be the same variation of a selfie? I'm impressed that you came up with so many - well done!
ReplyDeleteThis list is phenomenal!! I will definitely be referencing it the next time I'm drawing a blank!
ReplyDeleteI am totally going to use some of these! They are all such great ideas! You're a genius!

ReplyDeletethings i have learned from criminal minds: if you are a woman you can never run alone again, walk to your car again, go to the grocery store alone again without getting caught by a murderer!
