Are you one of those writers who, perhaps often, moans that you don’t have any good ideas to write about? Well, you’ve got a problem and I know what it is and how you can fix it.

Our world is literally swimming in ideas. Looking out my window I see an orange tree, some red bougainvillea, some tall succulents, bamboo, rosemary and other plants.

There’s also a Quan Yin Statue, a fence, an air conditioner and an instant hot water heater. If I remember to look a bit further to my right I can see the edge of a bistro table and two chairs. That’s at least a dozen things you or I could write about right now.

Would you want to? Maybe not, but I see several articles that would work in a gardening blog, or as articles for a gardening magazine, a trade gardening magazine, an appliance trade magazine and more, for pay, and sometimes good pay.

Quit judging your ideas!

If you think you’re running out of ideas, the problem isn’t the number of ideas, but the fact that you’re judging most of them bad ideas, or inadequate or something.
