Greetings, You can choose a topic that others are writing about and still make your opinion unique enough to gain readers who are interested in hearing what you have to say. Don't decide to choose a topic simply because you think it's already been written to death by others. That's certainly a good way to limit your options, IMHO. Don't agree with me? Look on your bookshelves. How many books do you possess under the same topic? Personally speaking, I own more than one marketing book, several books about writing, and even more books on how to do graphic design. All of them are by different authors offering me a way to educate myself through various writers. I don't limit my choices of books simply because I don't want to limit my capability of learning. It's that cut and dry for me. <smiles> Magazines are another good example where you can find writing being done on the same topics but written by different authors offering "their unique slant" on a topic, and thereby displaying their personality throughout the written piece. It's what makes reading different and fun! Blogs can be approached in the same style one would approach any type of writing. The unique part happens as a result of someone sharing their opinion; and, the words chosen to express those thoughts (coupled with the unique style used to relate the message) are what make the piece a different read for us all. Good luck in your choices. All good things, Bonnie Gean
