Head, Heart, Wallet: Three questions to find what to write.
Course: Write of Passage
I'm recently taking the writing bootcamp Write of Passage, and David provided these three questions to ask yourself if you don't know what to write about.
What does your head want to write about? This is about curiosity. What do you want to learn about?
What does your heart want to write about? This is about passion. What do you really care about?
What does your wallet want to write about? This is about profit. What could earn you money?
If you can't find a topic that fits all three, explore where the conflicts are. For example, a topic might be interesting and profitable but not something you're passionate about. Understanding these tensions can help you make better decisions about what to write.
