Revisiting a Previous Idea

I've been thinking about writing again & trying to figure out how to get published so I can start making spare money in my spare time. Tired of living paycheck to paycheck. I know it's not a gold mine but it would be nice to put my words out there for other's to read. Problem with that is, I don't know if I can just type and put it out there. I always read, reread, & reread again while I sit there and judge myself harsh enough that I never publish anything except poetry.

This time around though, I have been doing a lot of research, coming up with ideas, places to post, reading up on SEO publishing & whatnot. Seems whatever I can find to nourish my brain to get it to working again. There seems to be a lot of information on the subject, no matter what you type into the search engine. I came across one blog that says write every day, even if it's just about what goes on around you. Another that says to time yourself for 10 minutes to 30 minutes without interruption. Then I ran across one that says to jot down 50 to 100 ideas for stories, topics, or writing assignments. Really getting the juices flowing. Now if I can just take time for myself to do this, I might finally be on the right road.

Now if I can figure out what to do about writing bursts or writing prompts to kick-start the ideas that flow wildly through my brain. I've had the idea of writing about people I see walking down the street, around the store, or driving down the road, so a few weeks ago I put a notebook and pen in my purse and still have yet to jot down anything.
