Southern Goth in a Northern Town-July 2021: Oh My, What Have I Done?

So, as has become a theme here, it is July and I had no idea what I wanted to write about for the Southern Goth blog this month. Desperate (again), I turned to the internet and behold! I found a Blog Topic Generator . I did not know such a thing existed!

What you do is go to the link and enter up to five nouns and then it will give you a week’s worth of topics (work week, meaning five).

I thought, “What do I have to lose?” and off I went. I went with the first three words that fell out of my brain: Doll (because I was looking at the dolls on my desk), Book (because I always have books on the brain), and Goth (well, I mean…uh…title of this blog and all, right?).

This is the list of topics that I received:

1. Doll: Expectations vs. Reality
2. Will Book Ever Rule the World?
3. The Next Big Thing in Goth
4. Doll explained in Fewer Than 140 Characters
5. This Week’s Top Stories About Book

Because I am curious, I went back and entered five different nouns: Dog (because Toby is lying here snoring), Cat (because Boon is having a Siamese howl-fest right this minute dear gods save me please), Snake (because she just stuck her head out of her hide-box), Salad (considering dinner tonight), and Skull (because I’m a Goth and my house is pretty much decorated in skulls).

And this is the list of topics:

1. Dog:  Expectations vs. Reality
2. Will Cat Ever Rule the World (I mean, we know the answer to that one, don’t we?)
3. The Next Big Thing in Snake
4. Salad Explained in Fewer than 140 Characters
5. This Week’s Top Stories About Skull

So, this topic generator is a bit limited, obviously. But I’m sure there are others out there, and meanwhile, this one has satisfied my need for the moment. My brain is churning and I am quite happily contemplating the next Southern Goth blog. But now I have to pick one. Decisions, decisions….

I’m looking forward to writing Doll: Expectation vs. Reality, The Next Big Thing in Goth, and Will Cat Ever Rule the World. Which shall I choose for August? Hm. Tell me in the comments what you think might be the best topic.
