A List Of 29 Creative Things To Write About

Oftentimes when people ask me what I write about I give vague answers like "Oh this and that, a little bit of everything."  I try not to get to deeply involved in that conversation with the people who ask that, because they want to know how much money I make. And that involves another explanation about Google AdSense that they don't really understand.  So I direct them to HubPages so they can see what I am writing, and hope they enjoy what they read. 

 I made a list of things that I have or could write about. Whether it has been published or not. When you sit and think of all the things you could write about, it is a pretty big list. I wanted to keep it small and personal. Perhaps I can accomplish the task of writing about each of the topics I have listed. I have attempted many of the prompts, but  so far not all. Many I have started, and have yet to finish. But the point is there is always something to write about. It is just a matter of being able to get the words out, and that sometimes is the tough part.

Each  writing prompt is a challenge in some way or another. Emotionally, mentally, or educationally. But that of course to me is the challenge of writing. To create something your proud of, something that makes you feel like you accomplished something. Something that may touch someone else in the writing process. So moving forward, I came up with this list of 29 things to write about.
