Hey Reader, Over the last 4 years, I've worked with thousands of writers, and one question I see beginners share all the time is this: What should I even write about?! There are many ways to decide what to write about, but I'll share a simple one today: Write what you care about. One of the wonderful writers I got to work with this year is Melon Dash, an adult swimming instructor. I was lucky to meet Melon in person back in June and have a deep conversation about her work and what writing means to her: Melon has been a swimmer since her childhood and has been an educator for decades. She founded the Miracle Swimming School to change how adults learn to swim, and regularly shows up on tv to talk about her expertise in teaching how to overcome your fear, and thus learn swimming with ease. When I met Melon, she taught me her 5 Circles concept. It's a fascinating framework that applies to learning anything in life - not just swimming, and I highly recommend you check out this brilliant video: Melon is talking and writing about swimming because she can't not talk about it. It's her mission to educate as many people as possible on the topic, so fewer people have to suffer from the consequences of not being able to swim. She's been speaking about the topic for years and has even written a book about it. Yet, she's new to the online writing world, which is why she joined Medium Writing Academy earlier this year. Melon is taking her message to new platforms because she has a deep desire to help more people. She cares so much about her message that she can't keep it to herself. That's one way to decide what to write about: Think about what you can't not share. What's important to you?
What's going wrong in the world?
