The Great Writing Challenge

Writing a blog is an interesting process. First you have to come up with an idea, then develop the concept, and figure out how the hell to write about it. For some it comes naturally, but for all of the rest of us we need to sit and stew on it. By the time we get it all figured out, we realize that the whole endeavor is screwed.

My struggle has always rested in the idea. And the concept. And the writing about it. So yeah, the whole damn thing. I've said before how I've tried this on a couple of occasions, each with limited degrees of success. The lack of proper topics has always been my downfall.

Lucky for me, I'm a smart man who can figure out a great solution to complex problems. Or, in this case, first world problems like writing a blog. 

While at Barnes & Noble the other day, I noticed a writing book sitting on one of the shelves. It was simply labeled 500 Writing Prompts. Simply put, a whole big book of pre-canned topics that I can write on. 

Of course, now the struggle is which topic to pick up. Lucky for me, I'm a smart man...
