Trying To Figure Out a Good Topic

Dear Josh,
I'm trying to figure out a good topic to write about and I need help figuring it out. Maybe you have a suggestion?

-Trying to Figure Out


Dear TTFO,
The general topic is 'rules of expression.' To find a starting point, do the assigned reading and make a note of something that sparks your interest.

Once you have that, I can coach you in methods to develop it into a viable idea fit for sharing with our discourse community.

However, nobody can just give you a 'good topic.' You have to start with what interests you about something in the assigned readings, then analyze it in the context of 'Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? (5WH).
