writing

The first thing I do when I log in to MyEC is check out the latest blog posts. What are the learners writing? What are the teachers sharing? Some days I find really interesting thoughts. Some days I find very funny stories. I love learning about holidays and cultural events. Occasionally I find material that is copied from the web. If this happens I remind learners of the rules.

Often I find a post by someone who doesn't know what to write. Today was one of those days. As a writer, this is hard for me to understand. My problem isn't what to write. For me, the problem is finding more time to write! However, I write in my own native language. Many of you are writing in your second, third or fourth language! This is amazing and you should be proud of taking this risk.I thought it might be helpful to make a list of blog post ideas. Many of these ideas are from members who have written blogs on these topics.Blog Topic Ideas:1. Write an introductory post (Answer who, what, where, when, why, how about yourself. Don't provide any information that is too personal, such as a telephone # or address)2. Write about your day3. Comment on a current event in the news (in your own writing)4. Share cultural information about your country5. Choose a writing challenge topic from my blog (such as #11). Make sure to link to your blog post from the comments in my blog. This will help more readers find your blog.6. Share and describe a photo. (use the camera icon to upload a photo and add it to your text)7. Describe a funny or embarrassing moment from your past.8. Write a review about a movie, book, album, or website.9. Write a post using EC's phrasal verb, slang, and idiom of the day.10. Choose your favourite quote and write a post about it.11. Pose a question to MyEC members and invite readers to comment.12. Invent a game.13. Provide a weather report for your town.14. Write a poem or song15. Write a letter to a famous person.I hope you will join me in adding to this list. Please use the comment section to add your blog topic ideas.*Please include a comment (with a link) if you have tried one of the topics above. I will add a link to some of my favourite examples.

  • And if you're ever worried that nobody left a comment on your blog, read this amazing blog post by the English Raven. Jason Renshaw says "your blog is you, warts and all, and not only is every post potentially highly valuable (in being an extension of you at a certain point in time), it also develops a long tail like a ribbon that stretches out into the Internet galaxy."
