What to or Not to Write About

Selecting a topic that is interesting to its readers can be harder than you think. Their are two things that are important to address: 1. Grabbing the attention of a wide range of individuals (all with different preferences) 2. Sustaining your own attention with a good topic choice.

So how does one go about in refining the many choices for topics that exist. While this post is all based on my own personal opinion, I feel that it could possibly help out someone out there in the world. Some ideas are:

-Write about your own personal experience. No one tells a better rendition of a story than the person who actually experienced it first hand.

-Make sure your writing is presented as readable material. This means avoid long and dense write ups. You want to maintain the reader's peak interest.

-Keep it simple. Remember be concise and compelling.

-Be genuine. Your readers will not only appreciate the honesty, but also build a better report.

-Write about something you feel very passionate about. This makes the task of writing flow more easily. Oppose to forcing ideas on paper just to meet a deadline, which also sometimes gives your writing a negative or bland tone.

-Once complete think up a clever title to entice readers to read more.

I hope these simple tips helped someone out in selecting a great topic that works for them. Or at least narrow it down to a few choices or less.
