Another idea for priming the idea pump is your daily horoscope. These things are generally written so they seem to be written specifically for you, yet apply to someone else with the exact same birthday…Here’s an example:

It may appear as if you are sure about who you are and where you are going, but circumstances are not as they were in your original plan. Needless to say, this can be rather confusing. Still, you are up for the job as you rise to the challenge. Make certain to apply your logic to think your plan through, just as you would any puzzle.

Now just blog away!

Tara - I’m honored! You know I’m a big fan of the Lijit. And I think I’ve turned my pal, Gretchen, on to the goodness, too. Prepare for server overload–she’s got quite a following!

Priscilla - What a great idea! Not sure if I can add to such a terrific and comprehensive list, but I’ll give it a shot. And boy, am I honored to be on it.

As a former actor and someone who actually does write about widgets (although we like the wijit spelling), I loved this post and plan on using some of your ideas. Thanks for the help!
