Instead of writing about what you love, write about something you hate. Try to find the reasons why you feel the way you do about your significant other leaving his/her socks on the floor, about your tax dollars being used for things with which you disagree, the cell phone minutes that your creditors are eating up, or whatever else comes to mind. In this writing exercise, see if there’s anything you can do that would make the experience better.
No need to worry about making total sense or using perfect punctuation and grammar. Take a step back, revisit, and revise this later. You just might end up writing your next humorous and/or self-help essay. Happy writing!
