If you are an aspiring writer, then the best way to get started is to make your own personal blog. You can catch an audience, and while they may only be your Facebook friends at first, your creative voice will still be out there. In the beginning, posts are easy, for you feel as if there are a million ideas to write about. Unfortunately, writer’s block is real, and your abundance of ideas will slowly dwindle down into nothing. Here are some topics to write about if you are feeling stuck:
1. Recipe.
Everyone loves food! Dig up your old favorite recipe, and share it to the world. I’m sure many will appreciate it.
2. Personal experience.
If you really cannot think of anything new, think about something old. Share a funny childhood memory. I bet people will get a laugh out of it.
3. Interview.
Do you have someone you look up to? What about your favorite professor, if you are still in college? Pose a question and answer post. It’s something that differs from the norm.
4. List.
Facebookers love lists. Usually, people scroll on their feeds to pass the time so they want to read articles quickly. Why do you think Buzzfeed is a huge hit? 10 is a solid number to start with, and anything above 20 is overwhelming.
5. Your local community.
People love to read things that are relatable. Talk about fun activities to do in your hometown, or make jokes about your high school. It could blow up if enough people read it.
6. Travel.
Most people have gone on a vacation in their lives and usually would like to go on another one. Talk about your best trip ever, and give travel tips. You never know who might be itching to go there.
7. Work of fiction.
Let your creativity flow. Make a short story, and if you want, then you can start a series. Who knows? Maybe you can develop of fan base.
8. Pets.
Animals are great, and often, hilarious. Talk about the funny things your pet has done since you adopted it. Pictures are an added bonus.
9. “An Open Letter.”
Write something you have always wanted to say to your mom, best friend, ex-boyfriend, etc. I am sure you have many people who have made an impact in your life. Thank them for it, but please, do not title your post, “An Open Letter To…” It’s too cliche and people won’t want to read it.
10. How To…
Have some knowledge about something? Do exactly what I did, and share your wisdom with others.
