    • What an awesome list of topics to write on this summer. Thanks for sharing such wonderful ideas with us.

    • That is really a lot of writing topics! I think those who can write to all the topics will have no problem requesting payout for the next two months.

      • @lovern Actually, this was a fairly easy post to write! Lists are great fun, and they do well for SEO and social sharing. I really enjoy writing this kind of post.

    • This is a great list of idea. I have bookmarked this and would refer to it whenever I am short of ideas. Thanks for sharing!

    • This is great because often times I have some serious writers block. Always nice to have a topic or two to jump start things. Shared post too!

      • @oksummer Thanks for sharing!

        Yes, I think it's good to have a list of topics you can use to generate posts. I'm also in the midst of preparing a post (for my writing blog) about using outlines to streamline writing and combat writer's block. I hope that will help you too :)

    • Thanks Kyla, you always have such great ideas and a willingness to share them. I appreciate that! and you of course.
