Looking for Inspiration

I was searching for t.v. spoilers (for my new gig) when I came across these kinds of spoilers. It’s notable because I’m going to be 35 next month and I’d never known what those things were called. I also didn’t realize they were still popular.

At any rate, I found plenty of spoilers for soap operas. Those are easy to come by. But for television dramas? Not so much. Little bits of “what’s happening next week” is about all I can come by. I’m running out of interesting ideas to write about regarding dramatic television. How many character bios does the internet need anyway? Finding something to write about on one topic is very hard for me. But it’s also a great way to get my brain working. Like writing prompts, I’m forced to be a lot more creative in finding topics- niche topics if you will¹. There’s more interest in reality tv (not from me) than anything else. So it’s easy to find ideas in that arena. I really don’t care what happened on “Idol” last night, but that doesn’t matter to the rest of the Internet. Apparently, I’m supposed to be addicted too.

I have to say, though, that my site there gets thousands more hits than this site or even Simply Stating. I don’t get comments, of course, but there is plenty of interest in what I’m writing. The problem is that I don’t get feedback besides the stats, so I don’t know which direction to go in with this stuff. I’m getting lost.

Is there anything particular (regarding dramatic television) that you’d be interested in reading?
