Hi commentator,

I quite agree with you about the Zeitgeist. It is nice when what you’re prepared to write about at the time collides with the spirit of the time, but otherwise difficult to achieve.

And it is indeed the case that it’s best to write what one knows; I believe, in the world of blogging, it’s best to write about what one is interested in, too.

That said, it’s always possible to research. Sometimes one falls in love with odd topics on a brief, quick look, and suddenly you end up delving more into it.

By the way, welcome to Entrecard. :)

Philosophically speaking, Zeitgeist has become so niched, fluid, interchangeable it makes for capturing “the spirit” of anything elusive. I can’t chase what people want. I can just write what I know.

For example, conspiracy theories are a form of zeitgeist. I know if I write a bunch of stories about, say, Opus Dei or 9/11, I’d get a lot of hits. In fact, I did and people were interested. But I’m not programmed to naturally write about it.

Thanks for the tips. They are indeed good ones that deserve attention.

Alexys, thanks very much!

Praise is always inspiring to any writer. :)
