Helpful Writing Tip!

If you're a writer like me and sometimes you want to write about a specific topic but don't know what to do or how to start, this is what you can try.

They say that all ideas have to come from somewhere. They also say that a writer is only as good as their own experiences. These sayings are not always true, sometimes if you are lucky you might get an idea from out of nowhere, it'll just pop right into your head.

But sometimes if you want to write about a special topic but have no idea what exactly to write about or how you should go about writing it because you have no experiences in that particular area, this is what I do; and it seems to work for me.

Put yourself in someone else's shoes and try to see things from their point of view. Looking at things from the perspective of say a character from a book or movie and trying to understand what they might be going through or feeling can help a lot. Try to pretend you are that person and in that sense, write about yourself (as that person) through that other persons eyes.

I hope this makes sense to you and will help!
