Believe it or not, it works like this:
When I get the urge I go to my library and just pull a book from the shelf and give myself two minutes to find an interesting target. For me it could be a comical day, a studious day, a whimsical day, a news day, a teaching day, or a learning day, etc.
When I flip through my library so many memories are recalled from decades back that it is not very difficult to stir something to talk about. And, I have tons and tons of stuff that I have not yet touched.
However I feel when the urge hits influences what I pick, polish and publish. It’s fun and, based on feedback, helpful to quite a few. Sometimes I image certain illustrations just because they catch my eye and for no particular reason otherwise. Later on I might realize something of interest regarding the image and I upload and comment accordingly.
