I haven't been posting my T13 for quite some time. But themed T13? I agree with you.. that's just boring. shiera's last blog post..Wordless Wednesday #14: Sakura and Me

Ah! Since starting TT, I didn't participate this week b/c I couldn't think of anything. So maybe announcing a theme will help jog my creative juices. Out and About in Dubai's last blog post..Stop and Smell the Spices

I think it's a bad idea. The reason TT is so popular is because it allows you flexibility in what you post. I wouldn't participate either. kailani's last blog post..Would You Pay For a View?

I feel the same way as Robin. If it’s a fun theme, I’d go with it, other than that I’ll keep playing and coming up with lists.

I am impressed 5 months in advance. I’m lucky if I make it 5 hours in advance.!! LOL! I love your lists, Grace. Looking forward to the next couple of months.

I participated in TT for a few weeks, but I started having trouble coming up with topics. For that and a few other reasons, I stopped. A theme might have helped me.

I just read their note, and it doesn’t seem to me that this is any more than something new they’re trying, the same way we’ve had theme days in the past.

Besides, they said right there that no one was obligated to follow the theme.

Short answer? Doesn’t bother me all that much. I’ll do a theme if I feel like it and not if I don’t .

I’m going to continue on my own way until I run out of ideas. Will that happen?Who knows!

Gee, 4 – 5 months in advance?!?!?!? I’m deeply impressed.
I haven’t taken part in TT for a while now, because I just ran out of ideas. So for me this themed TT idea could be quite helpful.
Also, if you are not really required to adhere to the theme of the week, I see it as just a nice way to help creativity-challenged folk (like me), so I’m all for it.
If, on the other hand, they’d say it has to be a specific theme every week and all others get excluded, now that would be annoying.

My guess as well would be that they are simply responding to a request for ideas. One of the reasons I haven't participated (other than the fact that I'm never prepared enough to do a "specific day" post) is that I don't know if I could come up with any interesting topics to list 13 things about... Good for you though, I do enjoy reading yours! Krista's last blog post..Mea Culpa
