This one simple trick will empower you to write about anything with confidence and ease.
I could easily turn this into a product and charge you for it, but to be honest, I just can’t be bothered.
So I am going to give it to you in 4 words.
If you want to write about anything – turn it into a question.
That simple.
And it works every time.
Why?
Because our brain is geared towards answering questions.
When someone asks us a question, we often intuitively begin forming an answer and blurt it out even before we realize it.
Did you notice that I just asked a question (“Why does asking questions work every time?”) and provided the answer?
I have been using this technique for a long time and can vouch for its effectiveness.
When you turn a topic into a question, your brain starts working on answering it.
If you do not know the answer, you can start researching to come up with interesting ideas and a different perspective. This will provide you with material for writing.
Here is a set of questions, see how your brain is already forming answers:
- How to beat perfectionism?
- What mistakes do new writers make and how to avoid them?
- What challenges do creators face every day and how can they solve them?
My approach is to first rely on my existing knowledge and then conduct research. This way, I don’t lose my unique perspective on the topic.
So I direct the questions to myself.
- How can I beat perfectionism?
- What mistakes I made when I was new to writing and how to avoid them?
- What challenges do I face every day, and how to solve them?
Then I research to see what others are saying about it.
Once I have a better understanding of the topic, I rewrite my response, incorporating the new information I have acquired.
Try it.
You will love the technique.
