Finding Topics to Write about by Looking at Universal Human Values

Episode 023



Let me ask you this:

Have you ever wondered if there’s anything other than writing a love song? 

It seems every second song seems to be about love. So there’s a huge demand for love stories. 

But still, can’t we write about something else for once?

But what else is there?

  • How can we define some other options of things to write about?
  • Where do we start? How can we come up with interesting ideas that really interest people?
  • Are there some overall possibilities we could use, like some overall categories that can inspire us to know what to write about?

Today’s bite-sized episode will give you the answer, and I’ll include song examples that help you see each of those different topic versions applied.
