WRITE WHAT YOU LOVE


Everybody has pet projects. Lawyers have pro bono cases, chefs dabble with outlandish food combinations, and don't get your friend started on her golden doodle.

You should have a few things that are close to your heart, if not associated with huge paychecks. So, pick some topics you care about and pitch one such topic a week. It's how you can end up writing about your favorite food, volunteering time for a non-profit, or profiling a bizarre dating trend.

Also, often times your best writing comes from the things you feel most passionate about...I for one, can't get enough of marshmallow fluff. I'll work an angle into a pitch this week. What's your passion? What can you write about?
