0Can't give good advice on this one, Dale. I'm so guilty of procrastinating on the forums. I will sometimes VOW to stay off until I finish my hub. Then it's like my little reward... I feel for you.
Welcome to the club

Can't help you, Dale. Right now my HP time is 10% maintining my existing account, 90% forums, 0% writing hubs. (With the occasional exception; did one a few days ago.) Naturally, I have an excuse lined up: Building a house, installing a wind turbine, building a platform for a water storage tank, chasing an ephemeral mattress we need for my wife's bed...etc. So I bagged writing hubs "for the duration", since it's not uncommon to lose 6 hours just getting one done.
My excuse for hanging in at the forums? It's my way to unwind from the day, chill....
At least that's what I tell my wife when she asks.
Good one Ghost. I'll remember this the next time my husband looks over my shoulder when I'm on the computer
.
Seriously, Dale, I can sympathize with you. Took me over a week to get my 50th hub and I knew I could have reached it last week! But then again, the forums can be so interesting, sometimes more interesting than writing hubs.
Sheesh! My last hub was 12 days ago! I've never had that much time elapse between writing hubs! But I paid my due...My hubberscore dropped like Enron stock
Welcome back to reality! Yes, thank you forums!I've had up to eight months (maybe ten) elapse between hubs. Score dropped, but not through the floor. Unlike Ezine Articles, which deleted my (admittedly ONLY) article completely and revoked my Expert Author button for doing the same thing over there.
'Course, if I'd had 67 Ezine Articles at the time, like I did have 67 hubs, maybe 'twould have been different. But to this day, all Ezine gets from me any more is the fickle finger.

How Do You Create Ideas for New Hubs?
I want to write a lot of hubs (compared to what I wrote last year) this year. But the main hurdle is that I feel like I ran out of ideas or cannot create good ideas for new hubs.I come with some ideas, but they end up being too general or not good for online search. I try to think of more specific...

Bias exhibited in the forum?
An observation: sometimes threads critiquing people's English skills get taken down. However, it's usually when people derail the thread or when people are a little harder on the writer than necessary. However, with the onslaught of poor language and grammatical skills on the site lately, it's...
