Folks, I, like most everyone else at one time or another, have found myself utterly bereft of things to write about.  I know!  Horrifying, isn’t it?  That even a font of genius like myself (not to mention humility!) could occasionally be stuck for an idea.

Usually when I’m stuck for an idea the best place to look is to other people, and today I found this idea.  When you’re stuck for an idea, write the speeches you’ve never given.

Now, there’s definitely a boost to the old credibility scale if you can be regarded as sufficiently expert to deliver what are called “panels” at conventions and the like.  If you’re name enough to deliver a panel address, then you’re a name, no mistake.  So why not start preparing now?  Think up a couple topics you’d like to deliver speeches on, and then write those speeches as blog posts.

You’ll get a little practice in order now, and by the time you’re said and done, you’ll have saved a little time when you become a big name.

So remember where you heard all this, because maybe someday, you’ll hear it again at a blogger’s convention, and you’ll all be pretty happy it didn’t take me long to deliver it.
