I've been tagged in a meme by Tom Malcolm, who was in turn tagged by Stephen Waddington to continue a meme that he was tagged on to by Ged Carroll on what inspires him to keep up his blog posts.
(See all that tagging by the people on the meme who already have a working relationship with each other? That's today's top tip on "How to start a meme").
So, what inspires me to keep up with my blog posts?
- Twitter - Probably first and foremost, this is where most of my inspiration for things to write about comes from, either through conversation, observation or procrastination (e.g. clicking on a URL when you have nothing better to do).
- News - Looking for stuff to blog about always makes me keep up with the latest news and issues in the big wide world.
- Writing - I think learning how to jot down thoughts in a clear and cohesive manner is an essential skills in the workplace in general. Plus I enjoy writing.
- Ideas - Whether it's an idea I've been thinking about and wanted to test to my blog readers, or an idea that I came across somewhere else but wanted to share, the blog is the place for it to go.
- People - At the end of the day, this is what it all comes back to. My inspiration to keep up with my blog posts comes from the people, whether to share something with them, hear what they have to say about something, or help me to connect with them.
If you want to read what other people have said inspires them to keep on blogging, then here's a selection of responses to the meme (See? More tagging!):
- Ged Carroll - Looking for inspiration
- Tom Malcolm - Shoestring inspiration
- Drew Benvie - Inpiration to blog
- JonnyRosemont - Looking for inspiration
- Matthew Watson - What inspires your blog posts?
To continue the meme, I'm going to tag Dommy W, Philly S, Timmy B, Jazzy C and by special request, Jeddy H (yet more tagging!).
