Having trouble coming up with topics for your website/blog? Don't just rewrite others' content, use these ideas to write pure, original content of your own! These should give you about 6 months of content if you blog twice a week. Keep in mind, I'm a freelance writer by trade, so some of these are directly related to that.

1) What's your writing process?

2) Go to niche-related forums/blogs and look for questions being asked, write a blog post about those questions.

3) What genre would you never write in and why?

4) Last five books you've read and next five you are going to read.

5) Thank someone who has inspired you in an open letter.

6) The first thing you ever wrote.

7) Letter to Santa.

8) Books and appearance of your dream library.

9) When have you failed and 3 lessons you learned.

10) Best books you've read in the genre you write.

11) Your favorite fiction hero or heroine.

12) What book would you spend a week-long vacation in?

13) If not a writer, what would your job be?

14) How do you juggle/manage life?

15) History/origins of your genre.

16) Letter to your younger self.

17) What don't you like in others' books?

18) If you wrote fiction/non-fiction (whatever you don't currently write), what kind would you write?

19) Rewards system you use for writing goals.

20) Mid-year writing resolutions.

21) Visit PewResearch.org - write about an interesting statistic you find.

22) What talents do you have besides writing?

23) Odd keyword you've noticed being used to find your website.

24) What author (dead or alive) would you interview?

25) Leftovers from writing research that you didn't use.

26) Excerpt of one of your books (under 2,000 words).

27) How you promote your books.

28) What would your promo shirt look like (zazzle.com)?

29) Favorite posts from others' blogs. (I recommend repeating this post twice a month.)

30) Shameless self-promotion for other writers - let them post as long as less than 100 words per comment, run this about a week.

31) SurveyMonkey survey about your writing.

32) Any writing events you have or are going to attend.

33) Writing tutorial.

34) Interview another writer.

35) Post reviews of your books and what you've learned from them.

36) Review any writing forums you belong to.

37) Invite guest bloggers.

38) What books helped you learn to write?

39) Your big writing goals.

40) Share your stats: How many books you gave away in free promotion, how many books you sold last week/month/year, etc.
