Thread starting challenged -- who else feels they fall in here

[Mom2legomaniacs]

I stink at titling threads. And at getting them started. Surely there are more of you that feel the same way. Line up and show thyself!

[obiandelismom]

I'm not brave enough to start threads yet. But I am excellent at killing them! Sorry - I have just doomed this one to oblivion!

 

(at least you won't blame yourself for its death, right?) :p

[WTMindy]

You want to give just enough info to get people to look, but not enough to give it all away....it is a tricky thing and I'll put myself with you in that group!

[mcconnellboys]

Bingo! That's me, cher!

Hello!!! Raising my hand and joining this group!

[Tammyla]

Same here.

of course this thread is started by the OP is the one that started a thread that now has 11,000+ posts! :tongue_smilie:

 

Melissa, it doesn't look like you have a problem to me! :D

 

I must admit that I have this problem trying to come up with something brilliant that will have other readers coming to my threads. It's always hit and miss. :001_huh:

I stink at titles period. I also stink at captions. This is why I was on the high school yearbook staff for just one year. I was afraid to go back because of the captions and titles. Sometimes when I write a blog post I spend half an hour to an hour thinking of a title and it's still no good. I can write a heckuva long post in less time than it takes me to think of a title. I put off starting my blog for at least 6 months because I couldn't decide on a name.

Apparently, I really need work in this area. I have received objective reports from others. ;)

 

I wouldn't worry about yours....title it and they will come.:lol:

That one isn't mine. Stephanie lays claim to that one. Mine is the thread killer, far behind hers.

I am no good at leaving messages on answering machines and voice mail. I either freak out and hang up or start out on a reeeeeeaaaaallllllyyyy long explanation of my reason for calling and then freak out and fumble all over the message until I get cut off.

 

And I dread outlines. Anyone seeing a pattern here?

It's like writing the headline to a newspaper article - it needs to be a little bit flashy so you can hook everyone in and get them to read more. I also feel I'm terrible at it. But, I came up with a pretty good one a few weeks ago with something like, "Peeing on my Peace Hill Press bag was the last straw".

 

It was provocative, it was flashy, and it involved a terrible atrocity :)

[JudoMom]

Honestly, I feel challenged at the whole posting thing. From the beginning of titling to the end of the post. I'm the ultimate thread killer.

 

There you have it.

I'm sorry for that. My mistake. You're right. :) I'm an idiot. I just really and truly thought in my mind that it was yours. :001_huh:

:lol: about the answering machine thing. I almost never leave messages because I freak out and forget my number. Yeah, I sound reeeaaal intelligent "Hi, this is JudoMom, and I'm calling about X. Give me a call at....uh...oh, man...what's my number? I think it's 867-5309 but I'm not sure.....um, anyway, give me a call....."

Oh - you are not! I enjoy reading your posts.

[sleepy]

Oh yeah, that's me. Since we switched to the new board format, I've started all of *3* threads... and got a whopping *6* replies total. :lol:

You are NOT an idiot. My Thread Killer thread was on the top but has been by the wayside with the newer more hip thread. Sniff, sniff. I am old news now.;)

See, that's why you are Ms. 5 green squares. I pale in comparison, dahling.

[~Tara~]

yep, that's me

can't title a post

can't write a post

but I can end one :D

yep, shoot it all to heck

I'm good at going off topic though

and rambling

see?

do I get brownie points for that?

I love you just as you are. And, you are NOT pale! :D

[gardenschooler]

I feel very shy about starting a new thread. What if everyone thinks, "Oh, it's just her again. :rolleyes: What's she whining about today?" and no one answers?

 

But they don't. That's why I reward anyone who acknowledges me! I bet I've started less than 10 threads on this new board. It's much easier to hijack!

[mommylawyer]

I LOVE to start threads - unfortunately, I don't think people like my threads as much as I do...:glare:
