Have you ever wondered what to write about? Good ideas come from your brain. Sometimes they are based on your experience. If you have lived through it, you can write about it. Or, if you’ve helped someone else live through it, you can write about it.

Other times, your ideas might be based on research you’ve done about a specific topic. You could include your opinions along with the facts you state. If you have read an interesting book or listened to a podcast that you found helpful, you can write about it.

You can find fantastic ideas running around inside your brain.

*Grab a pad of paper and a pen or open up a blank document on your computer.

*Capture a question you would like to answer.

*Brainstorm three to five potential answers.

*Under each answer, write three to five supporting details.

*Keep your answers and details to three or four words.

*Include a strong verb in each line.

Congratulations, you’re building an outline. When you plan what you want to write, the writing comes more easily.
