Something too cool for me to think of and suggest.
Audience: 1) An educated reader. 2) Yourself.

Excellent topics are not limited to gross violations of our
sense of justice. Sometimes great wisdom lies in exploring the little details.
Write about an experience you remember vividly and can describe honestly, even
if you’re not proud of your actions.
