I’m amazed every day by great writers. They take an idea, sometimes rather obscure or plain, and give it an angle or lens that makes me rethink the whole idea. 

I’m trying to get better at that myself. Too many times I’ve passed on an article idea because it seemed uninteresting. Now I’m testing, learning, and attempting to have interesting takes on things. 

I’d encourage you to do the same. Not everything is a winner, trying is worth it.
