Slave Runners: Russell Conwell's Parents
Title ideas (first impression) - do this LAST:
- Forward: Superstition vs. Impartial Observation
- Forward: Conwell's premise for Effective Prayer
Content ideas (opening - grab attention) - do this THIRD:
- This is a good place to discuss slavery and how it formed Conwell's views
- Also, a great place to lend perspective on slavery and how it's used today to shame America
Central Idea (theme) - decide this (influence or instruct) FIRST:
- Determine whether I want to influence the reader to believe something, or instruct the reader to learn something (ask myself what I want the reader to believe or learn).
- I definitely want to do both in this article - so it may be best to approach it from two angles and split it into two articles - one to instruct and one to influence.
- Think about what problem the reader is struggling with that this post can help with - sometimes humor or inspiration/motivation can be the central idea.
Useful Logic and Illustrations (meat) - do this SECOND:
- Bullet points and sub-points supporting the central idea
- Facts, stats, personal illustrations
Strong Conclusion - do this FOURTH:
- Wrap up my points/sub-points; reiterate my central idea
- Simple solution to influence or instruct (from Central Idea)
