Cosy Ideas: Blog Post Prompts for Gaming, Geek Lifestyle & More!

It can be difficult to think about what to write for your next blog post. Sometimes you can have so many ideas and numerous draft posts written up, but those posts don’t always seem ready to post or the right time to post them. Even now, I feel this is something that many of us can relate to occasionally.

I’ve found myself looking at countless blog post idea lists at times. Even though many of them are filled with great ideas, many are tailored towards a more general lifestyle, home and beauty blog posts. Of course, writing about and incorporating video games and geek lifestyle into it can be somewhat challenging. 

Despite not finding much tailored towards the topics I was interested in writing, I decided to go ahead and create my own list of prompts to help inspire not only myself but others who are writing about similar topics.

Below are ideas and prompts for video games, technology and geek lifestyle-inspired blog posts. Whether those ideas spark another idea or you write about the prompt, it is entirely up to you!
