What to write about?

[sunnysideup]

Aha I really should have made it more obvious (although I did mention it numerous times) but I was actually not the one who penned that story, it was just my consciousness that provided the influence behind it. The author of that story is our own Brittany/Yera/Ahktu, who is indeed a phenomenal writer.

However, I do actually have an interest in writing stories as well and have a number of ideas for novels, and actually that kind of comes back to a project I had started years and years ago but which I quickly fell away from, perhaps because the story seemed too expansive in my mind.

That is a blog-story I started here. The idea was originally for it to be an on-going diary with each entry being the story told by the main character Martholemew. I have some really cool ideas for this story still in my mind so that would certainly be an endeavour to work on (although I think I need to go back to the original entries and do some major editing and updating since my writing skills have vastly improved since then.)

Then there is my "madness" blog which is basically a rant blog.

So now I'm at a point where I feel I need to make a "useful" blog I guess I would say. The idea to create a beginner's guide to spirituality is a good idea and I had actually forgotten about it until it was mentioned in this thread. (Another good reason to insight other selves for assistance.)

However, now that you have mentioned it, storytelling used to be the main focus of my writing and at some point I completely dropped fiction for some reason. I have barely read any fiction in years, only the occasional book here and there. I think at some point I felt like it would be impossible for me to make something original, to make something that people would love. I felt like every good idea had already been done. Maybe it's a good time to re-assess my creativity...
a very well defined point.

And here I thought you were just being humble I like the Gracon story so I still think you're a good story teller. Coming up with original concepts for a speculative fiction story is like you said next to impossible so why worry about that. Rowling sold more than 400 million copies of the Harry Potter series, but imho the story isn't very original to say the least. Anywho you should obviously just write about what feels right, a spiritual beginners guide sounds like a solid plan for a blog to me.
