5 Tips to Bring Back Your Focus to Your Niche Topics
Fewer random articles can help you grow as a writer.
Are you a newbie writer who has been told that you need to “niche down”?
Or are you an experienced writer who has become a little too random and you need to focus?
After finding my niche, I struggled to focus on core subjects. I wanted to write about random things that caught my attention.
These were five tips I learned to re-focus on my niche and not be distracted.
Less spontaneity brings more conflict
As a rule — it’s not in the correct quadrant in my carefully planned out grid of topics, I can’t write about it anymore.
My brain has a way of going off on tangents and it leads to many conversations with myself — for example:
Brain: My wife is watching Perry Mason for some reason. Should I write an article about what Perry Mason taught TV viewers in the 50s and 60s?
Me: You’re straying. Choose from the agreed list of topics to write about.
Tip: Use your random thoughts in your story
I improved my focus by using these deviations in my specific writing style.
