Write about what you know
September 27th 2007 06:40
As a writer you probably already know the refrain: write about what you know. Unfortunately with the bloggers and other amateur writers, the focus is on a lot of gossip and hype - and not a lot on what people know or are experts in.
That's fine for fun, but when it's time to get serious about publishing, then researching discriminately and using your own mind is the only way to go.
I am interested in climate change topics, but I'll leave writing about it to the experts and those seriously involved, such as this blogger : http://www.climatered.com/
My main topic is money matters (saving, investing) - but what do you care about that if your world revolves around building houses?
Stick to what you know, expand on what you know, become a niche expert, and you will find your market.
