Here&#8217;s another recommendation. Disregard the negative reviews of &#8220;The 15:17 to Paris,&#8221; written mostly by those who dislike the military. <strong>Clint Eastwood<\/strong> tells the real-life story of the three brave heroes who saved the lives of 500 passengers on board a high-speed railway ride to Paris in August 2015. They play themselves, all the more amazing since none of them are professional actors.

Or, even worse, do you ever come up empty?<\/p>\n<p>I have.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why I love the list of 60 blog post topics curated by freelance writer and blogger <strong>Elna Cain.<\/strong> Here are some of the more unusual ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Update your readers with a behind-the-scenes explanation of how you&#8217;re growing your brand or business.<\/li>\n<li>Write about something your competitor is doing.<\/li>\n<li>Do &#8220;a day in the life&#8221; of you. Give readers a down-to-earth look at your office, your lunch, your schedule, and your relaxation time.<\/li>\n<li>Write a series on how you and others use your product. If you&#8217;re an author, where exactly are people reading your books? On a vacation to Iceland? In the spa? If you don&#8217;t know, ask them!<\/li>\n<li>Show how you failed.

These might be other websites or blogs you write for, a special Pinterest board you&#8217;re proud of, a YouTube Playlist they need to know about, or an oldie-but-goodie article you wrote years ago but that&#8217;s still pertinent today.<\/p>\n<p>Here are four places where some of my best content is featured.
