  • How to find really good ideas to write about!

    02/02/2022

    Welcome to The Write Start podcast. I’m Lisa Iannucci, and this podcast is all about becoming a successful full-time freelance writer. I’ve had a very long career where I’ve written for many local and national magazines and newspapers and written, co-written to, and ghostwritten more than 250 books. This podcast is where I share my experiences and tips and bring on amazing guests who have had successful freelance writing careers too. Let’s get started! In this episode, I talk about finding ideas. One of the most common comments I have ever had about my writing is “Lisa you’re writing about so much…how do you come up with all of these ideas?” So I wanted to talk about that because there’s more to it than you might think. There are so many ways to find ideas. I’m going to give you some, but I’m hoping that you go to my website – thewritestartpodcast.com and you’ll see a link to a PDF that provides 25 ways to get ideas. You’ll get some of them in this podcast, but there’s a bunch there too. I’d also love to hear from you if you have other ways of finding ideas for your writing. There is a code in there for a discount on my upcoming course and I will send that out again once I get it up on the site. Well, that’s it for this week’s edition of The Write Start podcast. thank you all for listening.  Please follow me on Instagram at @thevirgintraveler as well as @thewritestartpodcast and If you like what you heard on this podcast, please share it and leave me a rating or a review wherever you listen to The Write Start.
