Gimme A Subject

Poking around on the Internet tonight, I came across the Blog Topic Generator, a product of Hubspot, a company that designs marketing software.  The site promised if I gave them three words that I'd like to write about, they'd give me a week's worth of blog post titles.  As you might expect, their suggestions for words were more business-oriented, designed for marketing and search engine optimization. In the interest of being goofy, though, I decided to have fun with the tool.

Using the site was easy.  I filled in the three boxes with terms (they said nouns were preferable), using the first three that popped into my head: Cats, Food, and Weather. I hit the "Give Me Blog Topics" button and a few seconds later got:
  • Why We Love Cats (And You Should, Too!)
  • The Ultimate Cheat Sheet on Food
  • The Worst Advice We've Ever Heard About Weather
  • 10 Quick Tips About Cats
  • What Will Food Be Like in 100 Years?
If you were me would you write about any of these, and if so, which one?  What would your three  words be?

  4. Interesting results in the comment by Joanne, 'eh? Having said that I think I'd try and roll with The Ultimate Cheat Sheet on Food. That's one I haven't read.

    1. And open to a lot of interpretation. Does 'cheat sheet' mean cooking tips, eating tips, or diet tips?

  5. That's a great tool! Perfect for those times of writer's block! I like the food in 100 years topic because you could let your imagination run wild.

    1. Yes, that would be quite interesting. Food has changed so much in the previous century so I can't imagine where it will go from here.

  6. Hmmm I could probably write the cheat sheet on food - I don't know about the "ultimate" though. Today I also pick Weather, Coffee, Sleepy. I'm going to bookmark the website.

    1. I'm sensing a theme in your words? :-). Although if you drink coffee you can't sleep.
