I love writing, but I’ve been struggling to pick topics to write about. Today I realized I don’t need to have a topic, a theme, or a format. Instead of staring at a blank page and being unsure of what to write about, I’m just going to write about whatever is on my mind.
Write about things you learn that you didn't realize before. You'll often find that the act of writing causes you to realize more. And such topics will be interesting to all the people who are like you were before you learned whatever it was that you didn't know.
