What to Write About? That is the Question
When Everyone Else Has Already Wrote About It — The Political Edition
To be, or not to be: that is the question — William Shakespeare
To write or not to write. The question is what to write today!
I scour the news in the morning looking for something to write about. I try to find a new political topic or subject every day. Duh, FudginPolitics. I try to find something obscure. That no one else will write about. It takes me more time lately because the topics seem to repeat themselves. There are just so many stories we want to read where the focus is Donald Trump or Trump adjacent. Also, we try not to repeat what others on Medium have written. Which makes it even tougher.
Do we want our readers to think happy thoughts? Bidens got a puppy! Do we want them to think or just listen? Do we want them angry? Pitchfork angry? How does a story about George Santos make you feel? Republicans: you are picking on him. Democrats: kick that liar out!
George Santos has become redundant. Everyone is writing about him.
Joe Biden is picking up steam. But not extraordinary enough to write about.
