How to Find Great Subjects to Write About

Picking the Topic of Your Next Hub

Having trouble thinking of topics to write about this summer? The struggle is real! If you're like most writers, you occasionally come up empty. If you find yourself in that position this summer, here are a few ideas to get that keyboard tapping again:

  • Write about your hometown. What are the best places to eat? The coolest activities? The best outdoor attractions?
  • Write about your projects. Are you growing a summer garden? Building a new deck? Crafting or doing artwork? Take photos while you do the things you're working on anyway and write a Hub about them.
  • Write about your trips and recreational activities. If you're doing anything exciting this summer (learning to kyak, traveling, hiking, getting your scuba diving certification) you should absolutely Hub about it!
  • Write about your leisure activities. What are your favorite summer novels? Top 5 video games? Best romantic movies?

Hopefully these tips will get the creative juices flowing. Happy summer Hubbing! :)
