Fifty More Blog Ideas - with a twist

• # blogging, # fifty-more, # languages • 908 words • 5m to read

A while ago I did Lou Plummer's fifty blog post ideas, in the series fifty in fifty, where an attentive reader will notice that there are only forty posts (because I gave up partway).

Well, this time I'm going to try to write some entries for Lou Plummer's fifty more blogging prompts, except this time I'm going to do it with a twist. I want to begin to use more languages other than English, and so the stipulation here is that I must answer the prompts in a language other than English. I'm not specifying which, so I can pick and choose based on the question or my mood that day. If I can also preferably avoid German that's probably best too, so I get some practice of Polish, Japanese, Italian, etc. - the languages I am less comfortable with. However I'm not going to rag on myself for writing in German either.

The questions are as follows:

  1. Are you a minimalist in any area of your life? Why or why not. Link
  2. Who would you describe as your favorite man? Write about him. Link
  3. Tell a story about a time when you had to pretend to be something or someone you're not.
  4. How do you use the Internet? Is it just a tool, entertainment, the center of your life? Link
  5. What gives you anxiety? What relieves it?
  6. Finish the thought - "I like your blog if..."

  19. Let's hear your two cents on artificial intelligence. Do you use it? Does it scare you? Is it just hype?
  20. Would you monetize your blog if you could?
  21. Do you live in a country that has been to war in your lifetime? Did it affect you? Do you ever think about it?
  22. What is something that took you multiple tries to get right?
  23. What are your feelings on the people who clean the bathrooms at your office, flip your burgers or pick up your trash? Do you know them or talk to them?

  37. Write a post one evening and describe the day you just had, no matter what you did.
  38. Do you consider making friends with people on the Internet to be one of the purposes of blogging? Do you want to meet and get to know people?
