I am just curious as to what, for fellow bloggers, motivate your thoughts and get the creative juices flowing. For me, it can seem like ages at times figuring out what exactly to say, especially when I feel like I have writer’s block; some other times I can figure out what to write in a matter of moments.

Do you just sit at the computer staring at the screen, waiting for inspiration to come?
Or do the ideas just come naturally?
Do you surf the net, looking at other people’s work to get ideas?
Are there any brainstorming exercises you could perform?

How do you write your posts and where does the motivation about thinking of what to say, come from for everyone?

I usually just get things to write about as I go about my regular life. I don't find it hard to come across things to blog about, especially when you're on the internet a lot of the time you're at home.

I write about what I like and what I think. I write a few about my personal life, about music I like, about what I think it's funny, photos from my country, about making money online (well, I like this, too), about SEO (I'm good in SEO, I have a good practice on my b2b portal ) and other things (I not fulfill all my 13 categories). I choose my blog's name with domainsboot, searching for number 13 (it's my lucky number ).

That's when I know it's time to go for a hike. Good ideas seem to come at random; trying to force them leads to mediocre posts. I tend to think about an idea for a while, let it develop in the back of my mind until I know what I want to explore in a post.

And if I'm lucky, giong for a hike can bring a photo to make a new post out of.

I'm like Forrest. Often, inspiration comes to me from totally random sources, and I go with those urges (the results turn out well).

Some of my blog posts are also spambaits, which do require some construction and thought.

It really depends on how I feel and how much time I have.

Usually, I write the things that really in my line of interests. I also write about certain interesting things that might be liked by other people.

My blogging inspiration comes from work. Our blog is about website design and marketing and this is what I do.

I guess you can say, I like my job that I can even stand writing about it all the time. Even the fact of sharing my knowledge to others. hhmmm..

Here's some good advice on the subject:

3. Develop many more ideas than you actually use One of the most useful things any blogger can have is a bank of ideas they can turn to whenever it’s time to write a post. A well-developed idea means you need to do less work later, but even a headline can be enough to kick-start a post. A good collection of ideas will ensure you’re never kept from posting by a lack of inspiration again.

My experience as a web designer and the weird things that surround me .. there's a lot of inspiration to be found

My business initiatives.

Q...

I write anything that just pop in my head...
