January 2006: Choosing Topics
When you sit down to write something . . . anything, don’t choose a topic you think will please a teacher or anyone else. Write about something you love. Write about something you want to share with other people or that you want to learn more about yourself. If you love soccer—or you collect dolls—write about soccer or dolls.
But don’t always write about the same subject. That will get boring for you as well as for your readers. Even if dogs feel like the most important thing in your life, consider your other interests, too . . . like the way you have always wondered what makes countries go to war or how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly.
