Writing is a skill useful both for personal expression or for  professional writing career. Writing for a certain topic usually begins with the idea which can be used as an outline, title, and expand it into full content.   There are incidents that different good titles suddenly comes out of mind, write it down immediately and just write the full content whenever you have time to sit down to write.

So, where can you find ideas for writing?  A writer’s block is a common challenge for writers, therefore, there  should be a continuous flow of ideas to write about.  How do you find them? Let us take a look of some writing ideas to begin with.  As the Playwright, Henrik Ibsen wrote, “Everything that I have written is closely related to something that I have live through”.  There are subjects  that within the writer’s interest because in some way it speaks about the writer’s personality or what gone through in life.  Here are some  ideas on how to develop new content and later expand in details:
