I keep a physical text note handy for 'ideas', when I'm out in the world. Sometimes I just surf the web for topics that interest me. I also subscribe to a lot of feeds so I can see the latest posts on my chosen topics. StumbleUpon is another great way to uncover random websites and new ideas.

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 22:50:33 +0000 http://www.chrisg.com/how-do-you-decide-what-to-write-about/#comment-5064 My blog deals specifically with writing (albeit fiction), but the premise is still the same: never wait for "inspiration" to write because you'll never get anything done (and this goes for all types of writing). Personally, however, much of my blog depends on the news, what others are saying, and "hot topics" in the world of literature/publishing. But I also try to write writing tips that will directly benefit my readers. These posts are fewer, but they are more planned and take longer to write - as I try to do a little background research before posting. Writing is one of those things that you just do it, and then worry about making it perfect later. That's what editing is for.

Much of our blog content is fairly spontaneous "whatever the mood strikes" kind of stuff. But then some of it is more of a "reporting the news" kinda content, whether iot be events in the area, happenings with us or friends, or just interesting newsbits. I also like to work in dolphin-related news items when possible both because that's interesting to me and because doing so ties in with our site name.
