You're a writer, so you're always learning something new. It's a rare project which requires no research.
So this week's technique is to use what you know. What do YOU know? Whichever stage of life you're at, you already know a lot of stuff. Even if you're working at your very first job, you've survived your childhood, your family, and your education.
Each day for the next week, make a list of five topics you know something about. For example: fishing, riding horses, dogs, needlepoint, and food.
Pick one topic, and without thinking about it too much, write a 600 word essay in an hour -- or 90 minutes, maximum. Write FAST.
You know the topic, so the key here is to write FAST.
I'll give you a couple of titles to kick start you:
The Top Five Ways To ____ (a sub-topic of your topic)
What ______ (your topic) Taught Me About Life In Five Minutes
