At some point in every writer's life, and sometimes repeatedly, a writer will find themselves faced with the question "What do I write about?". To non-writers, this doesn't sound like a big deal, but it very well can be. The convenience of the Internet in almost every home has made researching topics so much easier than in previous generations of writers, and anyone can literally write about anything (Have you seen Wikipedia). All of those options is what makes the choice of what to write so difficult. The key to answering that question is being able to answer this one: "What are you passionate about?".
For a small legion of reasons, I haven't been able to answer this question for a long time. I've just been "assigning" myself topics hoping to latch on to something and be able to go from there. That may work for some people, I am not one of them. So I took some time to actually sit down in silence and figure this out. It took a little longer than I was hoping, but I believe I've found my passion. I've already made a list of twenty or so topics to research more and write about; which is huge for me because I have the hardest time coming up with topics. Now my job is to write those articles and find a market for them so I can build my portfolio some more.
Your job is to answer that question and then do something about it. (Passion+Action=Awesome)
