I have a lot of thoughts going through my head each day. Most of them random, fleeting thoughts that never get spoken. I learned long ago that people don’t really care to hear my hilarious internal monologue.

So I just say it in my head and crack myself up. If you see me sitting there smiling, that’s probably what I am doing. Just move along. I’m just trying to entertain myself.

Up until I started writing, I didn’t realize other people actually liked to hear what I had to say.

Because I’ll tell you a little secret, most of what I write about stems from random thoughts that pop into my head. I don’t know if that is how other writers do it but most of my work is no more than a passing thought throughout my day.

Like yesterday I was thinking about buying Christmas presents and then suddenly I was writing about it and had a six minute story on how I buy presents for my kids. And people actually seemed to like it!

I try to write at least once per day.

It isn’t always easy to come up with new ideas. But I do always have thoughts going through my head so I try to spin those into stories if I can.

Sometimes, if I don’t know what to write about, I go scroll through Facebook. There are so many random thoughts that pop into my head while scrolling through my news feed.

Current events might spark a thought process or seeing a picture someone posted might remind me of a life event that I once had. A meme might make me laugh and then I can write about the message I take away from it.

Heck, even looking back at my old posts on Facebook gives me some ideas of what to write about for the day. That’s where most of my parenting articles originate.

Life, in general, gives you plenty of ideas.

Walking down the street after dropping my daughter off at school sparked an idea of writing about how much I love my little town. That one did well too.

I guess if you have a niche you like to write in, this might not be that helpful. That’s why I like writing here though. I can literally write about anything I want. Random or not.

Some of my most popular pieces are sparked from a random thought. I am, after all, the Queen Of Random Thoughts. Or so I have been told.

I’ve also been told that I am “The stoner who isn’t stoned” because of my tendency to say random things. Take that for what you will.

You know how I got the idea of how to write about what to write about? I thought of what to write about. Crazy huh? I figured maybe someone might need the tip.

If not, oh well. Here we are, almost at the end, and I have a piece written out. Look at that!

The great thing about this is I will never stop thinking so I will never run out of ideas of what to write about.
