Topics are Very Important

It would help if you found a topic for your site that you give a flying hoot about, or your writing will be quite laboured at the end of it all.

I write about finance (on THE Canadian Finance Place) mainly because it is more of a cathartic kind of thing. I complain and rale about stuff I can’t control, but it is easy to write.

What Topics

The topics usually become apparent depending on:

  • The time of year (e.g. Tax Season, Christmas spending, etc.,)
  • Major news events like the budget or stock market drops
  • Talking to friends and such, they give me a great deal of ideas
  • Reading other sites, and commenting on them.

I am always amazed at how many of my ideas come from day-to-day conversations with friends and family.

I can also find topics reading my old writings. This article is a complete re-write of something I wrote eight years ago. The original was relatively sparse and didn’t say much, but now, after almost ten years of writing daily, I think I can add a bit more to the topic.

Write about something you care about, and your writing is that much easier, and always write your ideas down. I keep forgetting great ideas too!
