Topic is Key

The key to writing well is to choose a topic, story, or theme that you are interested in. If the subject matter is dull to you, writing will feel like work. Consider what you might want to write about. Is it a childhood memory? A beach vacation? A difficult time? Or is it an important memory that you would like to capture and explore? If you wish to write nonfiction, consider how you might make it more interesting to the reader; what is the backstory, why is it important, and what is the message you want to get across?

Write these ideas down. Then narrow them down to one idea that you would like to spend some time expanding upon.

Keep that idea at the forefront of your mind. Let it percolate there. We will start working with it soon.
