Chapter 2 pgs. 65-75

While reading Field Working: Reading and Writing Research by Bonnie Stone Sunstein and Elizabeth Chiseri-Strater I learned how important it was to find a subject that was exciting to you. It became clear to me that any subject may be new to you but the important thing is to make the subject seem exciting to your audience. So you have to find out something that you can feel passionate about.
A good way to find an interesting topic is to do a little free-writing. By doing this your mind is able to choose a topic that you might find interesting just by writing about what is going on in your head.
That is what the girl who wrote about skating did. She just wrote what was going on in her head without thinking about her audience. She learned what she was passionate about and what interested her. She knew she wouldn't get tired of the subject and if she was able to have such excitement over it, then the audience would probably me more interested in knowing more about her subject.
