Write about the thing that makes your blood boil or your heart sing.

The best part about writing is coming up with ideas that no one has thought of before, and then working to put those ideas into a written format that others will actually read. As for the writing process itself, my favorite part is getting a first rough draft done, and then polishing it. I love tweaking and fine tuning words, sentences, paragraphs, titles, etc.

I try to narrow my thoughts down to the one overall idea I'm trying to express, then state that idea in three words. Next, I make the three words into a sentence, then a paragraph, then an outline.
