A lot of first-time writers make the mistake of believing that they have to write about Big Important Concepts (life, society, religion, politics, death, etc.) in order to be a successful writer. This is not necessarily true, and tackling big subjects right away (whether it's for a school paper, a blog entry, a short story or a novel) can be intimidating. Sometimes the best inspiration comes from the little things in life: a conversation with a friend, the way sunlight filters through the windows in your room, a glance from a stranger. When you pay attention to the world around you, you'll begin to realize that everything in your life can be a source of inspiration. There's nothing wrong with tackling big subjects, of course, but the little things are often more immediate, real, and easy to relate to :)
