It must be one that exists not only in yourbrain but also in your heart. When you have selected your subject make a list of the pointsthat appeal to you- most, and that will represent every side of thesubject. When you write, let your emotion guide your pen. At the sametime make every effort to select words that will be full of suggestivepower. Write easily and rhythmically, and let your work end, asMr. Paines does, in an especially effective sentence.
