Bright Ideas Worth Writing

I flipped through some books in the department's library today and came across with a nice and informative book about a guide to writing. It's title is "Evergreen with Readings" by Fawcett (1996).

Well, I do believe if you read at glance through all these ideas, you most probably will be inspired to write. Just have a try.

Here they are:
- Write down your goals and dreams; then brainstorm the steps you can take to make them reality.
- Write about a problem you are having and creative ways in which you might solve it.
- Analyze yourself as a student. What are your strengths and weaknesses? What can you do to build on the strengths and overcome the weaknesses?
- What class at this college have you most enjoyed? Why?
- Who believes in you? Who seems not believe in you? How do their attitudes make you feel?
- Imagine five other lives you might want to live. Who would you be?
- If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? What might you do to change it?
- If you could spend time with one famous person, living or dead, who would it be? Why?
- List teh things you would love to do if they didn't seem so crazy.
- Do you have an important secret? Kept from whom? How do you feel about keeping this secret? Why do people have secrets?
- Name three people you are supposed to admire; then name three you really do admire. Do the differences teach you anything about yourself?
- If money were no object, what place in the world would you visit and why? What would you do there, whom would you take, and how long would you stay?
- Use your journal as a place to "think on a paper" about material that you have read in a textbook, newspaper, or magazine.
- What news story most upset you in the past month? Why?
- Write down facts that impress you.
- Record quotations that spark your interest.

Looks exhaustive, right? But no worries, the only important thing you have to do is read them through in case one rings your head. Let's start writing then.
