Answer:
Your own blog can be about anything that you want. Mine is about freelance writing, and I have another blog about Lupus - I am a freelance writer, and I happen to have Lupus. The important thing is that the topic of your blog be on something that is of great interest to you personally. If you are not that interested in the topic, you will not stick to the blog for very long. You could use your blog as a writing journal. Just write about your own experiences, write poetry, song lyrics, or anything else that strikes your fancy. If you want to earn money with your blog, however, you will need to pick a specific topic to blog about. If you are just wanting to have a blog to establish an online presence for potential clients, you really do not need to actually blog. You just need to set up a website, include information about yourself and your services, and provide examples of your writing. Nothing else is needed in this case. I do have a question for you...is freelance writing your dream job? Do you plan to make a career of it? I would never discourage anyone from getting an education, but if you plan to have a career in freelance writing - especially in writing web content - you are not required to have a degree, and a degree probably will not make any difference in the amount of money that you earn as a web content writer. The only thing that makes a difference as a web content writer is your ability to write well, understanding SEO, and meeting deadlines. Hope this helps!

I guess just keep trying. But the future belongs to the Baha'is (Baha'i Faith, founded 1844). You might check out the link and see if it gives you ideas. Plus, there are Baha'i clubs in most colleges and universities, and there is a Peace Chair at, I think, the University of Maryland, run by the Baha'is. World peace? Sounds good to me! Ever hear the slogan? The Baha'i Faith, uniting the world one heart at a time. http://www.bahai.com/thebahais/

Greetings Dan ! A blog that I think you could do is the issue of bullying among students in this world today.

Writer's Block is exactly what you have, and it is a normal thing b/c people who are trying to get in to writing get nervous about what to write that is interesting. Here are just a few rules to get you used to writing and on to more things:: 1. ALWAYS ALWAYS WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING YOU KNOW ABOUT AND TO A CERTAIN DEGREE WHERE READERS WILL LEARN SOMETHING FROM IT OR UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TELLING THEM 2. MAKE SURE THAT YOU START WITH WRITING ABOUT EITHER A RECENT OR AN OLD EXPERIENCE B/C IT WILL FRESH IN YOUR MEMORY REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS . FOR EX: RIGHT ABOUT WHY YOU CHOSE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL ONLINE IN THAT PARTICULAR DEGREE PROGRAM? 3. SINCE YOU NEED TO WRITE ON PERSONAL EXP. TO GET SOME PRACTICE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO BENEFIT THE READER WHETHER IT IS A JOKE, A TRUE SITUATION OF WHERE YOU WERE OUT ON A DATE AT A CERTAIN RESTAURANT AND THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE AT THAT LOCATION AND HAS BEEN AND STATE WHY. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE REASON LIKE YOUR MAIN IDEA OF WHAT YO U ARE TRYING TO TELL THE READER. FOR INSTANCE WRITE A BLOG/STORY OF DINERS/RESTAURANTS OR A BUSINESS PEOPLE GO TO REGULARLY THAT IS NATIONAL SO MORE PEOPLE CAN RELATE (LIKE A RESTAURANT THAT IS THROUGHOUT THE US) AND HOW THE LAST 2 TIMES U WERE THERE THESE SAME INCIDENTS OR CERTAIN INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING AND HOW IMMATERIALLY IT WAS HANDLED, HOW THEY COULD HAVE HANDLED IT BETTER, AND ADD SOME INTERESTING FACTS, STATISTICS, OR WHAT THE END RESULT WAS, WHY IT DID HAPPEN, AND WILL YOU GO BACK, WHY O R WHY NOT. GO I N TO DETAIL, LEAVING OUT NOTHING, LOOK O N THE HOME SITE TO SEE IF THERE ARE COUPONS, POST A LINK TO THE EXACT LOCATION YO U WENT TO, OR HOW HORRIBLE YOUR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE WAS COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER TIMES, OR HOW U ASK FOR A CERTAIN SERVER, OR HOW THE QUALITY OF SERVICE IS BETTER THAN THE FOOD SO THAT'S WHY YOU STILL GO THERE AND MENTIONED IT SINCE YOU ARE A REGULAR. SINCE I HAVE EXP WITH THIS FIELD/AREA OF EXPERTISE, THAT'S WHY I USED RESTAURANTS AS AN EXAMPLE. GOOD LUCK WRITING BUT WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW. THEN WRITE THE MAIN IDEA I N THE MIDDLE OF THE PAPER AND CIRCLE IT. PUT 4 CIRCLES CLOSE BUT NOT IN EACH CORNER AND FOR 3 OF THE CIRCLES GIVE YOUR MAIN REASONS TO SUPPORT YOUR TOPIC THREE SUPPORTING POINTS AND IN THE 4TH ONE WHY YO U ARE TELLING THAT TO THE READER. AROUND EACH CIRCLE LIST THREE SUPPORTING IDEAS TO THOSE, AND LIST 3 IMPORTANT POINTS TO WHY IT IS GOOD FOR THE READER TO KNOW. THEN ON THE BACK ON THE TOP HALF OF THE PAPER MAKE A CIRCLE NAMING IT THE INTRO AND THE 2ND HALF THE CONCLUSION. SURROUND THE INTRO WITH A CATCHY OPENING SENTENCE THE THREE SUPPORTING CIRCLES YOU HAVE MADE AS YOUR PARAGRAPHS TO SUPPORT IT, WHAT, WHO, OR THE ISSUE/ARGUMENT YOU'RE DISCUSSING, AND THE THESIS STATEMENT. BELOW IT RIGHT T OUT YOUR THESIS STATEMENT WHICH WILL BE YOUR LAST SENTENCE IN THE INTRO OF i FEEL THAT RESTAURANTS SHOULD TAKE MORE TIME AND INTEREST IN THEIR GUESTS SO THE GUESTS GET THE DINING EXPERIENCE THEY FOR BECAUSE 1 ST REASON 1ST PARA GOING TO BE ABOUT, 2ND REASON YOU' LL TALK ABOUT, THEN THIRD, AND MAYBE YOU CAN ADD SO i WILL CONTINUE TO COME BACK AND EAT HERE AT.__________. DO THE CONCLUSION THE SAME WAY BY CIRCLING IT AND BASICALLY IT IS A FINAL STATEMENT OF THE THESIS STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN REVISED IN TO A TRUE STATEMENT LIKE: i KNOW THAT SINCE i AM A REGULAR AT _______ CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MY WAITER'S ABILITY TO PLEASE MY COMPANY, OR FAMILY AND ME WHEN WE EAT OUT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEN INCLUDE ALL THREE REASONS. THEN THE NEXT SENTENCE SHOULD STATE ONE SUPPORTING OVER ALL POINT FROM EACH PARAGRAPH LIKE IT'S MAIN PART TO AL L THREE PARAGRAPHS EXCEPT MAKE IT A TRUE STATEMENT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CONVINCE A READER CAUSE IT IS WHAT YOU FEEL AS SHOULD HAPPEN. THEN CLOSE IT WITH THE REPERCUSSIONS OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU WERE TO CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THAT TYPE OF UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE AND HOW THE CO. COULD LOSE BUSINESS BECAUSE THE CUSTOMER SEES THE PEOPLE IN THESE HOSPITABLE POSITIONS THAT GIVE CUSTOMERS THEIR ULTIMATE DECISION OF THAT RESTAURANT, BAR, OR ESTABLISHMENT/BUSINESS. GOOD LUCK!
