Going through a bunch of stuff, I found this.  I retyped it into my computer so I could throw away the hard copy--then I thought...hmmm....this could be good for LiveJournal too.  Feel free to steal any that trip your trigger.

Topics for Writing: Some Starters

Are you ever stuck for a topic to write about? Even professional writers get stuck. Here are some key words and phrases that may help you out. You can use them again and again; each time they may help you think of a good new topic.

Reminder 1: A good topic will probably be one you know something about.
