This is how I've been feeling--a little depleted, a little overwhelmed, and a lot tired. My creative blog juices are running a little low. I'm sick of the non-stop construction on my street. I want a good treat and can't have one for ten more days. I want to be finished with the revisions on "For What It's Worth" and I want to start working on my next book (it's a love triangle). Summer is going by too fast, but Bruce's mission could go a little bit faster.
I'm in a bit of a slump and I need your help.
I heard of someone who asked her readers what she should write about, so that's what I'm doing.
WHAT SHOULD I WRITE ABOUT?
In exchange for your ideas, I'm going to give away a great prize.
A $25.00 Barnes and Noble gift card to buy a great summer read or two (or three or four if you shop the bargain tables).
AND
A chocolate chip cookie pie from Cookie Heaven. (worth $25.00)
So, help a sister out.
Leave a comment with your idea for a blog posting and you'll be entered to win.
If you want extra entries, follow me, tweet this, post it on your facebook or fly an airplane banner with my blog address. Be sure to leave me a comment about each of these (and a picture of the banner).
I'll be randomly choosing a winner at midnight on July 11.
BE SURE TO LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS WITH YOUR COMMENTS.
Comments
1.Casey Anthony trial and verdict.
2.Greatest joy...greatest sorrow.
3.Since you are feeling down,think about yourself and recognize your own personal gifts and share. (or not)
Well, that's all I have for now.
Last word of advice from the great actor, John Wayne. "BUCK UP LITTLE CAMPER!" Love ya, LMH
let's see...
lisa's posting on facebook about child birth being a business... that would be a good one. or something similar.
Good luck with everything! Slumps are no fun, so hopefully you'll feel back to your normal writing self soon!!
Or, maybe write about experiences you've had as a child/adult -- in third person!
If you need ideas for your blog, here's an tip: come up with a list of random topics, write/type them all on paper, and then cut them in strips and store in a "Blog Buddy" jar. Then, when you need some inspiration, pull out a "Blog Buddy" from your jar and type away!
{You can even have a separate jar for topics that have been recently used.}
Oh, and the 11th is my birthday! This would be a nice birthday present!!
I always love the postings of your past experiences.
You could also write about how many relatives you have on the Higginson side of the family. It's always fun counting (and trying to name) everyone in the family since there are so many of us (cousins, cousin's kids, etc.). haha!
How about an animal post? How many pets have you had growing up?
Meal ideas? I'm always interested in what meal plans everyone else has (not just one dish like you have on the recipe blog, but all the dishes that you would have in a meal). I love food! :)
That's about all the ideas I have for now. Hope this helps!
How's that? But I think just a plate of chocolate chip cookies from a friend would help you out. You need a girls night out!
Regarding another's suggestion, I found interesting journal/story prompts online when I was teaching English last year.
I can't wait to read what comes next (book, blog...whatever), I love your perspective, insight, thoughts and critiques on life and its vagaries.

Some of these might be scary interesting.
A book for a begining blogger would be nice also. Ebooks are ok, but I like to have something in my hand to read and following directions.
I hope your slump ends soon and thanks for hosting a giveaway.
