Struggling to think of what you're next post can be about?
Take a look around you! Recently I was talking to a new steemian who was trying to think up ideas for posts and I pointed out two things that were so commonplace to him that he hadn't even thought they might be interesting. For his sake I shan't ruin it and say what they are!
It made me think. In a sex and the city kind of way, (only minus the pointy high shoes and bahjeena) 
Things which can be commonplace to you can really be interesting to others and a post would certainly be a way of finding out. It could be anything. For example...
Go on! Share your favourite? Discuss the style you like. Review one or even share your own writings. There is a wealth there that you can mine that people will be interested in.
Maybe you play an instrument? You could share your playing or describe the music you love.
I know more than one Spanish word, I promise :0)
Have a pet? Go on, show us it! Or you could enter the steemit photo challenge!! For example this week is animal portraits.
What about the outdoor life? Go on get blogging about your garden or your exploits in the great outdoors.
My point being is that when you are stuck for ideas, take a moment to look around you. You never know what will strike!
Make GIF's, memes, digital art. Strap a camera to your head get drunk and ride a bike. The resulting film will be awesome. Do not limit yourself to what you think you can do. If in doubt try something new. You might end up being amazingly good at it and then you shall be king!
I did film myself whilst drunk on a bike once. The footage is immense especially because I crashed at the end whilst shouting 'Das is verboten!!'
I felt the same months ago:
:-)
Lol that is awesome!
I agree! That's great! I never thought of it that way. Very imaginative!
Nice dude. There is a lot of this going on in my head the last few weeks literally. I started posting some more personal stuff weeks ago, even a salad picture today and normally that is not what I would post but I am branching out some.
You never know what will work on here so I just post what I want, deal with the haters and whale flags and keep moving LOL.
I never expected to earn anything here so I have met good people here, connected with them outside of here, and that means something to me also.
I like the more personal stuff! Its totally the thing to do. Branch out and see what sticks!
I have met good people too which is awesome and something you couldn't saay for anywhere else! Aye alright then, maybe you're one ;O)
Congratulations @meesterboom!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following category:
Hawesomes!!!
fantastic @meesterboom, keep these good vibe encouraging posts coming. fantastic advice. much love
Thank you very much!! Doing my best :0D
inspiration...is me...
is you..
is us!!
is everywhereeeeee!!!
A song for the ages!!! I can almost hear you now ;0)
You are so correct!
i know :D
Hey @meesterboom this is great for those who struggle on what to write about, my problem is I have too many things I want to write about lol.
You should start up a lending library of ideas!! :0)
I love this. Lately whenever I learn how something out there works and is structured in more detail I immediately compare to how block-chain technology would make it better, goes without saying that same thing could be built on the Steemit blockchain.
Random thought, leasing cars that accept steem/sd payments, turn your car into a leasing company of its own when you don't need to use it.
Yeah, I find myself doing similar all the time. Everything money wise I think about steem payments or similar disrupting everything. I was explaining the downsides of bitcoin to a friend (wild times) and kept comparing it to steem, obviously no contest!
:D I often ask myself why adaption is so slow, and when the time will come when there are so many people involved in this and adaption rate to better tech becomes so big that switching from one currency to another goes way faster than how long its taken it for btc -> eth right now.
Yeah, thats the thing. We are most likely on that tipping point where it seems like it is taking an age but once the major switch from BTC is done then we could see a whole cascade of em! :OD
Its like the singularity in coin trading is upon us.
@meesterboom UpVoted & Followed 4 days now & Resteemed... Thank You
I'm 11 days new to Steemit and learning everyday. Thanks Again AND Have a Great Weekend !!
I am now following you back! I hope you are loving it, if you ever have a question you need answered just ask. Hopefully I can help!
@meesterboom... Thank You 4 Your offer to help. Right now I'm studying everything as much as I can, so I don't ask too many "dumb" questions... Thanks again !!
Well dont worry about that, there are no daft questions! :OD
A very awesome post about what & how one should go about using Steemit. Guys a must read for you all...
Thank you very much!
so true...post about your passion in life..it will come thru :-)
Definitely so. I believe in that completely!!
I think the "Secret" on Steemit is that there is such a wide range of creative expression here that you can post about pretty much any idea that enters your head... and you'll discover that there's a sub-community here that's actually interested in it.
One of the things I really like is that I do NOT feel like I have to go "popular topic hunting" in order to produce content that'll be seen.
That is exactly what I think too. Sometimes I know that people can get caught up thinking will it make money? When really they will never know what earns for sure so should just post what interests them.
Drinking and
drivingbiking is never a good idea lol.You are absolutely right. I did it once and it was a tad foolish! I wisely added a disclaimer lest anyone follow my poor example! :0)
We were told there would be drunken bike riding footage... ;)
Perhaps one day I will be brave enough to expose it for all!!!! :0)
Perhaps the next time you're pouring liquid courage then. :D
Nice chops on the guitar btw.
The liquid courage certainly does usually help!!
Cheers! I like getting the old nylon string out occasionally!
Oh such good advice lol. I've been worried about the lack of interest in anything I might write. Don't think I'll try the drunken bicycle footage tho...yet :)
That's the greatest obstacle sometimes is the thought that what you want to post about might not be interesting to others but you just never know!
Of course I think you should try the drunken bike thing, it could start a craze!! ;0)
Hahahaa..A Steem-A-Thon of drunken bikers. Now that would be a sight to behold :D Thanks for the encouragement!
You are welcome!!! :0)
Its just a learning experience. The people of this community are great. If there's something you're not sure of ask. They will be plenty of people to stand up and give help. We all have a little steem in all of us !
They are great, friendly and supportive! We all have the steem!! :0)
Diversify one's content, good point. Upvoted.
Thank you very much :0)
You're welcome.
lots of interesting ideas, now i need to pick one. or come up with something wackier :)
Wackier always works!!!
it certainly does, wonder why it doesn't go mainstream! ah well, time to put on the thinking cap. thanks!
Maybe it's time and you are gonna be the catalyst!!
So very true.....so i tried to mix up Tech, and fiction with health plus maybe some funny posts to spice things up.....The Delimma of Non-Techy Steemites🤔
There you go, that is a proper mix up of stuff! Maybe you should do a mash up of all four in one post :0D
Wow!.......Thanks @meesterboom, am gonna try that this week😊
Hehe, and why not man. It will rawk!!
I have the very opposite problem I see ideas everywhere but I just don't have the time to write. Working on my time management :)
Ah you are idea rich!! Never a bad thing. I usually have a fair few of them myself and stay up too late writing them down :0)
You got it right @meesterboom. There are so many steemians and everyone is unique. One dislike could be likes to the other.
By the way, you seem to a lot with guitar.
Completely, there are so many steemians now that no one should be scared to try something new.
The guitar is my first love @juvyjabien!!
Guitar is a great outdoor.
A fine thing indeed!!
I know how to play it also but just it, I just know, nothing special :)
I bet you are rather good! I know that we can be our own worst critics. I always feel like my playing is pretty average.
Hahaha the truth is, its been a while and thought of buying a new one :)
very good post :)
Why thank you for the compliment!
it is ok :)
Hola @meesterboom como estás? I like your videos and posts. They are funny and obviously helpful! Just have fun with it!! :)
Hola @sgnsteems! Estoy muy bein y tu? Hehe, thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it! I have fun with every one! I hope you do too!
Thank you so much for this haha, Your right just gotta take a step back and explore =0)
Your welcome dude!! Yeah, step back and c check it!! :0(
I get most of my ideas sitting on the toilet
Lol, I have had a fair few there myself!
Great advises. Thanks. You love German words. Last time I saw you using 'kaputt', this time 'das is verboten'. I liked the context. There are not many words which enter the English universe. Often the are a bit on the negative side, like 'angst' or "schadenfreude". However we still have the beautiful 'wunderbar'.
Wunderbar is fantastic! I love the german language it is so colourful and sounds amazing!
My inspiration for the coming days. Thank you. You are really earning the steem, well deserved, pleased for you. x
Hey hey @hopehuggs! Great to see you back on! I hope all is well with you!
That is my motto too. I dont even sit to think before I write stuff up, over thinking stuff doesnt pay
Yup, is a social media platform. There is room for everything!
Hi, I've seen some of your publications I'm going to follow, follow me and let's collaborate together =)
Oh go on, I shall :O)
Thanks for the inspiration! I've been feeling a bit down and sort of obsolete because people just don't seem to be interested in poetry ... or rather, not my "classical" type of it. Your post gives me a chance to look around me again and try a different perspective.
Ah poetry!! Has no-one been showing much interest? Dangnabit. A favourite of mine! Sometimes branching out a bit gets you a few more followers who can then appreciate your poetry! I look forward to seeing your different perspective!
Thank you - it will be an interesting exercise to see what other things I can come up with. I'm glad you like poetry ... most of mine is in 'classical formats', such as Sonnets and such. As someone trained in the classics (art, music, poetry); it sure will be different to branch out!
I do indeed, I have dabbled occasionally but from a strictly amateur formulaic rhyming way. It has always entertained me though. Something very moving about poetry and how it can stir the heart!
So glad to hear that from a fellow poetry lover! I'm following you now, and going to check out your blog ... do you have any of your poems posted?
I posted many a poem at the tail end of last year and before. This year has been sadly lacking I am afraid!
Thanx for posting. Since I became a member I started looking at things different myself. Intry to see value in everything for Steemit.
It's the best way, my whole outlook has changed since steemit!!!
Next post in a few days! A cover of a German song with my very bad pronunciation!!
Wooohooo, that sounds incredible!!! :0D
Agreed - depending on what you want to achieve - first thing to make this a place to have fun, talk about what you like - my strategy (if you can call it that way - needs improvement still but i have fun lol)
I think fun is what it is all about. Most people love a bit of fun!!
You are the master of turning ordinary things into extraordinary masterpieces. Heck, you turned a simple suggestion into an awesome lesson! That's your gift, dude :D I try to follow your example and I hope others take your advice and run away with it. There are so many wonders in the world. To have writer's block is such a painful way to suppress the creativity buried in each and every individual.
¡OLA!
¡OLA! Lol!! Lola? Ah, I try my best dude. You need no lessons in nothing as a man who possesses no grammar skills might say!! But thank you!!!
I don't know if you remember this, but Mamie (y'know, from A Day in the Clouds), yeah, her mother's name is Lowla in the story because "lola" means grandmother in Tagalog haha! I don't need nothing, which technically means I need everything haha!
Great post as a new blogger here on Steemit it is hard to come up with stories, i think i must start up my moonshine device and do a get drunk while tasting :-) blog
Ha, that sounds like a fantastic idea. Steemians love the liquor!!! :0D and welcome!!!
Interesting points! Can I get a private viewing of the bike crash since you won't release it yet?
Haha, it may have to stay private for the time being. There is a lot of swearing!!
I've had some success with movie reviews. I will no doubt try many of these!
I hope you do, following ya just in case ;0)

nice post I think you might like this https://steemit.com/food/@whitedolphin/lofty-caramel-salt-coffee-at-lofty-s-coffee-company-encinitas-ca-review
Hmmm, I do like food it must be said. I will have a look although I would much prefer you hadn't just random link dropped. It doesn't make me feel like voting it at all. In fact some people think it is spamming.
Suggesting people to drink and drive earned you a downvote.
I was being humourous but I can understand your point and your stake is yours to use as you please.
Well said!
Hi @meesterboom are you dutch by any chance? Looking at your name you must be :) Anyhow, great inspiring post!
Upvoted and followed. Follow back is appreciated :)
Have a nice day and remember... Gococonuts ;)
Thank you! Surprisingly I am not! And yes, I know all about Master Tree :0)
Are you Dutch?
Your name had me fooled there! I am Dutch indeed :) Living in a city near Amsterdam. Have you ever been to the Netherlands?
I have been but that is not where the roots of my username lie!!! It's a long and involved story! Pleased to meet you!!
Yes, I understood that! Nice to meet you too. Have a nice day :)
