How to think up topics?
When going throughout your day, start to take notice of things you’re interested in. What did you see on the news? What hobbies did you pursue today? What questions did you find yourself asking, and did you find an answer? Chances are if you’re thinking about it, others are too… and they’ll want to know your opinion on it!
This simple practice of regularly taking a few minutes to write down blog topics is enough to save you a heap of time in the future. When you’re low on time and need to start writing now, pull out your Topic Journal and pick one you can write about with ease.

Just Write
It’s called “stream of consciousness” writing, though it also goes
by the much shorter term known as free-writing. Simply put, it’s the act
of just writing. Really. This is the easiest part of writing a quick
blog post – whatever comes to mind about the topic you’ve chosen to
write about, simply start writing your thoughts on the matter. Thoughts,
points of interests, questions… throw them all into the mix.
The key here is this – once you start writing, don’t stop. Don’t go
back and change a thing… just keep writing! Don’t stop until you have an
excess of content. It’s easier than it sounds, but you may need to
practice it a few times to get truly good at it.

Cut it Up
Now you can go back and edit it. Any line, phrase, or even
paragraph that can’t be led directly back to your topic should be cut.
If you start to ramble, cut it. If it sounds funky, weird, or just
wrong… cut it. Be judicious with your cuts – the more you cut, the
better the quality of the final product will be. Don’t waste time
thinking about whether it should or shouldn’t be cut – if you doubt it,
cut it.
Congratulations! You have a finished blog post, and it all took around 15 minutes to do. Keep it up!
