What to Write

Well the whole idea of this article is to inspire you and perhaps give you some ideas on what to write. Here is a list:

• Past memories

• Stories with detail

• Poems

• Travel experiences

• Traumatic events

• Celebratory moments

• Minor life events

• Major life events

• Freewrite

• Creative fiction

Remember that sometimes just starting to write will begin the creative process. Before you know it, you will be able to expand upon your initial input and soon have a draft of a product or piece you can build to and edit.

Take the opportunity to journal but make it interesting:

"I walked home from school" sounds bleak compared to "I could feel the grit between my shoes and the tile sidewalk as I begin my route home from school"

I call it adding details to simple events which believe it or not is engaging for readers to help them visualize the story with you.

Don't worry so much on having a perfect article, save your drafts and submit only when you feel they are absolutely ready. Don't forget to include pictures if it will help polish up your article or make it more interesting.
