Writing, Writers and Ideas

The medium is the message.

As I continue to write full time for Triond, I’m finding that the more I write the more I have to write about.

For a time, I worried that I could not possibly come up with enough ideas to turn out the amount of content I needed to make writing for Triond worth the effort.

Well, I should point out that I have a steady income that keeps a roof over my head and allows me to pay a few bills.  And I’m still poor enough to be eligible for different programs for veterans and people over 60 that help me to survive. 

So, I have time to write for Triond.  The question is, what to write about?

The answer has turned out to be, write about daily observations, articles on writing and the occasional piece of fiction when a good idea comes along.

What I found out was that just by writing, just by working at the computer and carrying around a small notepad everywhere and thinking about writing all the time, I have plenty to write about.

This will not come as a surprise to any of you, but the more you write the more you have to write about. 

The trick seems to be to find the right medium for your writing and then to be conscious that your subject matter is really “Life.”  I know this is simplistic to the extreme but I’ve found that this works for me.

Maybe it can work for you.
