To Post or Not Post

Where Do I Fit in on Associated Content?

Deana Marshall (Baconator)
I was sitting here thinking to myself, as I often do, just how does Associated Content writers come up with topics to write about? Do they just have that much stuff in their heads? I mean, I have a lot going on in my head, but how can I be sure it is content worthy or if anyone would even want to read it. Then, when I think I do have something good to write about, and do, I get to the part where you post your content. I then stumble back in my chair and don't have a clue as to what is the appropriate sections to even post under! I don't feel opinions is appropriate because I am not generally a professional in all contents, but yet, it's not a short story and darn well not a poem, but then "General" doesn't quite cover it because, well, although it may be 'general' in content, it is just random rambling thoughts. So what category does one post random rambling thoughts in or feelings on a subject?

I figured the best way for me to get some feedback on this was to post a random rambling thought post on my random rambling thoughts on what to post and under what category on Associated Content is best to post it under!

So here is the deal... I have random thoughts all day long, everything from sex to dirty socks! So say I write one up on dirt socks, do I post it under "Lifestyle"? Is there a dirty laundry section? Maybe "Shopping and Fashion"? Then say I write one on my random thoughts of sex. Should that be posted under "General," categorized under "Relationships/Dating"? However, it really doesn't have squat to do with relationships really, it's just random thoughts, and often not even in the realm of intimacy sex, but just quirks often. So, should it be posted under "General" and "Lifestyles" instead? Still it's not really ones lifestyle, just random silly thoughts! My writings definitely have no special literary style, so it definitely cannot go under prose or short stories, and opinions would be totally out of the question!

So, I give... where does one post just random rambling stuff, maybe of no real importance to any one, like maybe random thoughts on politics and how I feel the government should be ran, even though my thoughts lack reality often!

Do you understand what I am saying? Even this post, under what category on Associated Content would have been the appropriate placement for it, the Recycling Bin. Maybe under "Health and Wellness" and "Mental Health"? I do admit, I do have issues! Is there a spot to post random ramblings of idiots on Associated Content?

    I often struggle with which category to put my articles under. There should be a category called "Genie's Thoughts" just for me.

    Isn't it scary what goes on in our heads? What would be scarier if anyone really knew what was going on up their beside us. Great read.

    Not for nothin', but you get a 4.8 (which is a beautiful thing), but I'm over here comin' up with Class A ideas and I gotta look at "The Editors declined..." (Ohh! Decline this.)

    No, but yez write beautiful, and don't worry if you can't get categormanized because I went through, like 32 years of school, they couldn't find a place for me , either. I turned out good.
