Topics

by Linda Johnston

Hey, I’m up again this week at The Writers in Residence. So what’s my blog topic? Blog Topics!

How do we decide on what topics to write about in our blogs? Well, we’re all writers, and we write about sometimes similar but always different things related to writing and reading. As I was trying to determine what to write about this week, I checked on my own most recent topics as well as those of my fellow Writers in Residence.

Some of my most recent involved how fast we write, and events around us that stimulate our writing. Some of my fellow WinR authors wrote about books (of course), book events, dream jobs, including writing, paper that we use to write, and otherwise, favorite phrases, favorite seasons to write…and more.

The common thread is, of course, our writing and that of others that we enjoy reading. How to decide on the topic to write about? Read, study, consider possibilities—then do it.

One of my favorite topics is dogs, but I can’t always write about them. I do so whenever I can, though. Like here. I just got to mention dogs!

So, what will be the topic of my next blog here? Something related to writing, but I still have to ponder what.

  1. We all try to post things that help other writers, but sometimes we just want to mention the fact that there are roadblocks and detours we all take when trying to get a story written. But eventually we get back on the road to writing. We do hope we help other writers put those words on paper because if we don’t write, people won’t read and we need folks to keep reading. So Write On!
