A theme isn't a topic. "Cooking" is a theme; "Ten meals to prep in fifteen minutes when you hate cooking" is a topic, with a reader, a promise and an angle.
To find your best topics, think about the questions people ask you, the mistakes you've made, the myths that irritate you. Those speak most to readers, because they come from real experience.
Keep the ideas that make you want to start writing right away. A topic you're excited about reads with more energy.
Frequently asked questions
How do you find writing ideas when you're stuck?
Start from what your reader asks most often: their questions, their fears, their common mistakes. Each one is a potential topic.
What is an angle?
It's the particular way of approaching a topic: a myth to debunk, a real case, a method, a comparison. One theme can give ten angles.
Are these ideas useful for a blog too?
Yes, each topic can become an article, a chapter or a post. Keeping ideas in reserve helps you avoid the blank page.
