I never had to choose a subject - my subject rather chose me. Ernest Hemingway
The range of topics presented on Activerain run the entire spectrum from “How to” to “Yesterday’s experience” to “Wordless and Speechless” photo endeavors. Many times the article is simply information directed to home buyers and sellers in a specific area (this is our purpose, right?).
What do I write about today?
Could it be the Activerain member relocating to Florida who called me yesterday for assistance? [That is quite an honor and a real endorsement!]
I could write about my back ache this morning. Maybe I slept wrong or something. I could call Richard Weisser and find out how he slept last night.
Maybe I could write about my weekend in Daytona Beach and how great it was…except for that less than great experience at Inlet Harbor Restaurant in Ponce Inlet, Florida on Saturday night!
Actually the experience reminded me of some neighborhoods I have lived in over the years…looks inviting but the experience is not actually what you thought it would be!
I guess I will use the Hemingway method of choosing a subject. It works for most on Activerain!
Now, if that subject would only come to me…

Love the new photo Gary!
Gary, great point. I feel that "writers block" regularly. The value of what is written has different meanings for different people and at times it seems difficult to pinpoint those interests. But writing something is better than nothing. You title here proves it.
Gary - Inspiration comes from many sources (not all our own) sometimes a comment you are writing on fellow members post brings forth some great ideas
Gary.....I think you write about things that you have a passion for and know something about.
Renee - Thanks. It is my serious look...nahh!
Carra - That is the key...Thanks
Kathy - I get a lot of inspiration from others here and try to give credit as well. Thanks.
Craig - It does hit is all. I usually keep reading on here until something clicks!
For me it's not a question of what will I write today, it's a question of what will I post today. I have about a 100 articles written and ready to go.
I'm trying to make about 90% of my posts relevant to prospective client and the other 10% something of interest to me that others might also find interesting.
Russel - You are my hero! That is what I need to do...create a catalog of ready posts.
Jim - That soulds like a reasonable ratio. I notice you write a lot about condos, obviously a big part of your market. Thanks.
You need to write more posts because you write well, have a great sense of humor, and I enjoy camping out, as long as it’s not real camping in the outdoors with the bugs.
Jim - Thanks. I do need to put some pen to paper..well, keyboard to screen. Thanks.
