What to Write About
|
Things You Can Write About And Publish!
by Shery Ma Belle Arrieta

The stories and articles you can write about are only limited by
your imagination, ingenuity and persistence. And your ability to
dig deep into and write well about a potentially good story or
article can make you a published writer.
You can write about many things and here are a few of them:
YOUR LIFE! No two people on earth have had the exact
experiences. Each of us goes through life and experience things
which are unique only to ourselves. Your life experiences are
fodder for good personal experience articles. To start writing
this type of article, brainstorm about unusual, unique, scary or
even dangerous events you have experienced. From your list,
think of an angle or an interesting way you can present your
experience.
I'LL TEACH YOU HOW TO! Do you have a special talent, skill or
knowledge? Why not write instructional articles based on those?
This type of articles are commonly known as how-to articles and
are regularly published in magazines because of their popularity
to readers. How-to articles are usually written in a
step-by-step manner, using bullet or number lists.
PROFILES! Personality profiles or sketches feature subjects who
are more or less famous people -- celebrities, sports heroes,
politicians, or someone who is recognized in his/her field. For

profile articles, look within your community (town, city, state,
region) and see if you can find and interview local celebrities.
Usually, profiles are in the form of Q&A so you only need to
come up with interesting questions for your subject. You can
then submit your profile article to your community paper or
regional paper.
INSPIRATIONALS! Articles that inspire, motivate and/or move
people to tears or laughter fall under this category. Religious
or secular articles are also forms of inspirational articles. If
you're new to writing, submitting inspirational pieces for
church or religious magazines is a good way to break into the
writing and publishing field.
JAUNTS! Travel articles appeal to practically everyone, even to
those who have never traveled. Have you been someplace where you
found the sights, customs, food, habits, or culture different
and interesting? If you travel frequently, start taking down
notes of where the best places to stay are, where the
interesting sights can be found, where to stay, and how to get
to those places. Keep a travel notebook and log your travels.
Write your impressions of places, people and cultures.
SPECIAL INTERESTS! Some special interest subjects are parenting,
child nutrition, home and garden, and health. There are
certainly thousands of publications that cater to special
interest subjects. If you have been gardening for years, you can
write articles for gardening enthusiasts. Specialize on your
area of interest and over time, you will establish yourself as
an expert in that area.
