Step 2) Take a moment and think of a topic you would like to write a blog about. Be sure to pick a topic that you can continue to write about. For example, the NBA playoffs are going on right now and would be an excellent topic to cover over the next few weeks. Writing about Kobe Bryant may not be a good idea because you will likely run out of things to say. Be sure this topic is something you enjoy, and would consider yourself a bit of an expert in.

Next, speak with Mr. Donohue about topic idea idea before making a final decision.
