Before you can proceed to your writing task, be sure that you already have a topic to discuss on. It is not a good idea to start your writing if you still don�t have any topic to write.
It will only make your situation hard and most of all, your time will be wasted for nothing. For sure you don�t want that to happen, right? Therefore, choosing a topic first is what you need to do before you proceed to the next step in writing.
There are situations where you can�t choose your own topic, simply, because your employer decide it for you or if you are still a student then your teacher might gave you one.
But it doesn�t really matter whether you choose your own topic or not. As long as you know how to make that topic work in your writing then there is no problem at all.
To deal with it, you have to know everything about your topic. That is, to conduct a research about it and gather information and other relevant sources that can help you to understand more about your topic.
Once you get to know your topic better, then you can make your readers understand what it is all about. As simple as that and then you are now ready to narrow your topic down in your content.
In writing, you should use your creativity and it is up to the writer to decide how to construct the concept of his topic.
When tasked to write a short essay, such as one containing 1,000 words, having too broad a topic can give you a serious problem in keeping the word count low. Broad subjects tend to require more evidence and facts to effectively argue, resulting in extended word counts that could prove harder to trim (even with a precise writing software) than you originally bargain for.
The moment you ascertain that a topic is too broad, you have to take immediate steps to remedy it. How? It is by narrowing it down into a more manageable, more precise one.
1. Identify the main elements of the topic you�ve decided is too broad. Write each element down and test different ways you can apply it to your essay. Most of the time, one or two of the smaller components will sound like a good fit. The shorter the essay, the more closely cut your topic has to be.
2. Look at the big picture. Instead of drilling down, move up into the more general field or subject that your topic belongs to. Take note of the most important aspects of that subject, then see how you can relate it to your chosen, using the resulting intersection as your new subject matter.
3. If you are in school, always a teacher or an advisor to help. Those who have been exposed to the subject for extensive lengths of time will usually have a good idea of how you can better drill down a broad topic.
