What topic in the news sparks your interest on one hand and leaves you a bit curious on the other?
This subject area ... if written about ... could advance and perk up your world in unexpected ways.
You may be surprised to learn that your linguistic intelligence is wired to write your way to adventures that help you understand and grow in any area. How so?
Let’s say you have an interest in foods that add more punch into your day … and the stories out there seem bent on giving an edge to advertisers… in rather unbalanced prose. The learning adventure comes by diving into the gaps with two-footed questions in mind. 
Have you ever considered the power of words to advance in a key area of your life? Your own words! Maybe you’d like to eat your way to more brainpower … with foods that pack a bit more zip.
Then it’s likely time to question your way ... through writing ... into making brain food a reality. Some call it research … but you could turn it into an op-ed that holds new angles up to the rainbow and inspires readers to take another look.
Two-footed questions into linguistic brainpower for compelling essays:
1. What do people other than you see in this topic?
2. What do you think about the topic and how is it different?
3. How could this topic add value to your workplace?
4. How will readers who differ from you find inspiration in your words?
5. What about this topic is enlightening your assumptions?
6. What’s not been said on this topic that could improve lives?
7. What questions remain out there that inspire further investigation?
8. Why will your research on this topic make a difference?
9. When will this topic impact people like you most and why?
10. What would readers of many backgrounds and beliefs enjoy here?
There you are on your way to an essay we’ll all read with gusto. Do let us know where it publishes if you submit it to a Writer’s Market editor looking for the next op-ed on your topic.
