For today’s Sunday Poser, Sadje wants to know…

Which is one topic that you can write about effortlessly? Do you have any topic writing on which comes easily to you? Something you often write about?

I enjoy writing about my perspectives, opinions, and viewpoints about politics, religion, society, and current events, but posts on those topics are never written effortlessly. Sure, I have my opinions, and I think I can express them effectively, but I want to make sure that the information I’ve used to inform my opinions is reliable, and that requires checking multiple sources. In today’s world of biased sources and misinformation, that takes time and effort.

That said, once I feel confident in the veracity of my sources and data, the actual writing flows pretty smoothly.

I have cut back a little on political posts because the current state of politics in the U.S. is, well, depressing, so I’ve been responding to prompts by writing short flash fiction posts, which I really enjoy. I call these single-scene stories because they are short posts, anywhere from 150 to 300 words, and most of them take place in a single scene. I have a lot of fun writing those.

I will occasionally attempt to write a poem or two, but I’m not very good at poetry. Writing poetry is definitely not effortless for me and I admire those who can whip out engaging poetry so easily (or at least seemingly easily).
