What do you do when a writing prompt just does not speak to you?
- Research the topic
- Wait for a day, and see what others have come up with
- Reblog and share the prompt, and let others enjoy the same
- Feel obliged to participate, and come up with something
- Flex your imagination and writing muscles and come up with an excellent piece
- Write a mediocre post, which you may not appreciate a day after
- Lament that your blog is not strong enough to attract viewers, unless you participate in writing prompts
- Think about the lowered statistics next morning and force yourself to write something
- Ignore the prompt, and attend to more urgent business waiting for you
- Analyze statistics and see which kind of blogs have attracted maximum engagement. Then, you chalk out a writing strategy for future.
Creative Experiments and More 
I feel for you when it comes to the stats – not only in ‘not responding’ but in choosing which ones to dedicate my time. I hate choosing a prompt just because it’s from a popular giver when there are so many unknown creators out there too…

You are right. The content and inspiration more than the platform.

when I see the prompt, I don’t read any other blogger before I attempt my own idea. there have been many times, I fail with coming up with the prompt. I research on the meaning, sometimes the synonym or the antonym and then write what applies to me. I write what I understand from the prompt. this week MLMM first line was challenging for me. It had a sad tone. But I wanted to make it opposite with the base remaining sad and then developed it on a happy note. No, I don’t lament if my posts do not attract the readers. I think and ask someone close to me if the post I wrote had any flaw, was it understandable or if it was not appealing. I read blogs to inspire myself with how people attempt to the prompts in their own understanding. on the final note, if a writing prompt does not speak to me, I speak to it. how can I just let it go? 🙂 this was wonderful reena.. thanks for the Questions
