The hardest thing in essay writing is getting started. And every beginning depends on the topic chosen. A topic comes before researching, preparing, and writing.

Look around you. It's amazing how many things happen around us, and we barely notice them. We wait until the media chooses something that is ?important?, and gives it to us on a nice plate. But if you look around, you'll notice things that are much more important than how many people died in a car crash, or what are American policies towards Third World Countries. Next time you are assigned an essay, just put on tennis shoes and go for a walk. While walking, simply look around. You will probably need a notebook and a pen to write down all the events that go on around you. Look at the people that pass you by. What do their faces look like? You can try to classify them. If not, see how people behave when waiting for the green light. Do they wait impatiently, stand without emotions, or look attentively around? Write about children playing in the park, their Mothers, dog-owners and their dogs, a flower that blooms near your mailbox?. Do you want to say it's not enough?

If you are willing to try yourself in analyzing events, than start reading newspapers and watching news. If you have some time to prepare before turning in your essay writing (a week or so), choose one major event, and follow its development during this week. See how its description in a newspaper differs from that one on the TV. Make connections, draw conclusions, think and analyze. Summarize, or make predictions. It's your essay paper, and everything is up to you.

If you are reading a book that fascinates you, you can write on its topic. An author always has a universal truth to bring to you across his book. Talk about this universal truth. Also, you can just make up your own story basing on that one of an author.

A camera can be your best friend. You can even make some sort of commixes for your essay writing.

Online is one of the easiest ways to go. Depending on the type of essay writing you need to type in its name and the word ?topics?. You'll see how many variants, opportunities, and propositions are available absolutely fro free. If you are not satisfied with a topic, use only its key idea.
