The Importance of........(a short article idea generation exercise)
Fill in the blanks....
The importance of _______________ (fill in with a key concept for your work or discipline, or an idea you are interested in exploring) to ______________(fill in with a discipline that is related, but very distinct from yours).
Did you come up with anything? Try it five times and see if you might have an article idea to explore. Don't be stuck on what you write- it is merely a prompt to generate ideas. If something else comes to mind, write it down!
You can also change the word "importance to "implications"- that helps generate ideas as well.
