Blog Block? The Media Never Stops with These Prompts.....


At a loss for words? Social networking sites getting old? Blog Block? Apparently, not uncommon. So, to aid you in your mindlessness is... PLINKY! Plinky is a site that produces random questions to joust your mind into topics you can write about. For example, as a new member myself, the first question was, if I had 3 crayons, and only 3 crayons, which colors would I select to draw a picture? Pretty easy question to answer but may allow one to branch off into a memory of being young and coloring, or a recent picture book someone saw, or maybe a unique connection that the color aqua marine clicks with your cousin Joannie, who knows... But the first site of its kind that I personally have come across thus far.

Definitely a bright idea to continue the media through blogging. Plinky's goal is to "inspire and motivate people to create content." Confronted with a prompt, different ones are shown daily to help get you going on a particular train of thought.
Secondly, Plinky can be forwarded to Blogger or Facebook, Twitter, etc. The going trend of connecting all of your networking pages to one another. This is definitely an advantage to push forward the potential success of Plinky.
Not yet introduced, but on the way, Plinky is planning to incorporate music into their site as well. In the video below (yes, it is a bit detailed) they go to say, for example, in a question such as "an overplayed song you still enjoy" and on the side of the page are music pages that relate to the question. Again, another function that will lead to a better success rate for the site since music is such a hit on the internet right now.
So, if you are pressed for time or oppositely, have all the time in the world, check out Plinky and start writing about something you may have never thought about on your own....
