Niche is an area that has great interest to you. You excel at it. A comfortable place, if given time, you'll turn into a profitable business. The potential is limited only by you. It takes little to inspire you for this niche.
Likewise, writing niche is writing you understand. Sometimes, the writing makes sense when others don't get it.
The perfect writing niche is when a-piece of writing/reading feels right.It stirs around your creative flow. You, in your opinion, can re-write it better. Your mind begin to think of ways to profit from a writing business, promote it.
Set a goal. Do some research to see what you'll need to get started.
Is it a business that will fit into your life? You have enough time for it? Right tools? Should the writing niche be done part time? Is there anyone in your life that can help? Barter for services.
Bartering is when a friend/relative provides an item or service to your business. The item could be paper clips. A relative offers to handle the business side.
Bartering ends with what you'll give in exchange for the paper clips, and the management of your business.
Keep an account of bartering in writing. There'll be no confusion.It makes life easier. Someone in doubt about how many paper clips, for example, were agreed on? Check the contract, or the bartering agreement.
Writing niche can be a profitable out-let to writing.

Transitions
The job of a transition, in fiction, is to smoothly move stories along in time, location or point-of-view.
Fiction, especially long fiction, requires a time change. You don't have to bring-along five hundred words before a new day, time. Unless, your story can't be told without lots of words.
Take a look at my example.
I was awakened out of a sound sleep by someone shaking, knocking, at my door.
"Who...who is it?"
No one answered.
I reached for my cell phone, but it was dead.
"Who is it?" I asked, again.
No response.
I jumped into jeans, sleeveless top, and pink flip-flops. In case, I had to run. I plugged my phone into the charger, laid on the bed. Sleep refused to visit me.
Time Change
Night began to melt into day. I rushed to the door. A man was face-down on my porch.
I quickly closed the door, not sure what was going on. The police had to be called. Upstairs, I dashed. My cell phone still wouldn't work.
Downstairs, I returned. I cracked the door, and the man had disappeared.,I slammed the door shut.
I had to get to my cousin's house, help a few minutes away.
I locked the door, ran.
Location Change
At her house, I explained what happened.
View-Point Change
Deadman on ya're porch?" Louise looked at me with furrowed brows.
Louise was pencil thin with a man's crew-cut. She stared at me, shook her head.
"What now?" Louise sat down in her L-shaped kitchen.
In conclusion, transitions can make the writer's job easier, and entertain readers.

Non-Fiction Writing Ideas
Non-fiction writing ideas are factual, and are gathered from anywhere, everywhere. Many people research writing ideas for non-fiction.
Non-fiction writing ideas address problems, comment on life or are topics of your choice.
Write a how-to article about the problem that you handled successfully. How did you manage the going-back-to school costs? Explain it in easy to understand steps. People pay money for helpful advice. Put an interesting spin on it, not what's already out there. In other words, the article should be uniquely yours.
Do you know of a drink/food that lowers a person's chance of getting a cold? A formula for building an excellent credit score/rating would be of interest. Many could use information on paying debt down, or general debt information.
Can you think of other possible non-fiction writing ideas?
One way to comment on life is through non-fiction writing.
What are your comments on Paula Deen's use of the negative word? Or, her court ordeal about racism?
Your comments on Trayvon Martin's murder trial? His family? George Zimmerman's account?
Perhaps, you want to comment on the media's coverage of a specific event? You have insight on an illness, and want to share it.
Is there a topic that have always held your interest? For some reason, you've never written about it.
It's time to research, look at what angle you want to write the topic from. Simply, write.
Non-fiction writing ideas lives everywhere. It's a matter of picking which view to work with. Start today.

Healthy Writing Habits
it's never too early for writers to start healthy writing habits, or too late.
Healthy writing habits means steady-work and an abundance of writing ideas. Writing ideas and steady-work equals money, presence and/ or stability.
Is there such a thing as healthy writing habits? A few asked.
The answer: Yes.
Healthy writing habits begins with writing everyday. Curve-out a space for you to write in. It could be in the attic, basement, barn, or closet. Fill your space with your writing tools.
What is a writing tool?
A writing tool is a book, app or any item that provides inspiration for writing.
Disconnect from everything but writing. Your writing space is just for writing, creating.
Select a specific time to write each day. Stay there for, at least, two hours. Try to write more than two hours. Take anything you'll need before sitting down to write. Could you want fruit, for example? Don't give yourself an excuse to not write.
Of course, turn-off your cell phone, and other writing stealing appliances.

Interview: Master It
Have a question? Agree, disagree,
with me? Leave me your opinion.
The time has come in life when a job
change is needed, the current employer
down-sized, or you out-grew a job
position. A search high and low turned
up a job interview. Be prepared. Take
time to visit the organization's web
site. Look at the mission statement.
The mission statement explains an
organization's purpose.
The mission statement cited that the
organization is going green, for example.
Refer to it in an answer that you'd like
to share in the experience. Or, pick
another point to stir-up an answer with.
Always, be upbeat.
Your answers should reflect a positive
attitude.
The interview day arrived. Don't focus on
how nervous you are.
Arrive at the interview, at least, forty-
five minutes earlier than your appointment
time. It gives you an opportunity to
freshen-up, and get comfortable in your
new surroundings.
Take a deep breath before the interview,
several. Organize your thoughts, and
avoid using slang words.
The word money isn't uttered from your
lips. Push the following unit of words,
thoughts, out of your mind. Any idea
when I'll get a pay-raise? Although,
maintain eye contact.
Be respectful of those you encounter.
"Good morning." A person rushed by you.
Some would say nothing, but respond
with a greeting. It could be your
interviewer.
Below are possible questions.
Why are you looking for employment?
I'm looking to share my experiences
with a new organization, and learn
new skills.
What do you want to share?
I'm organized, detail oriented, and
communicate well.
A supplier contacted my office about
an order. I was able to pull-up the
necessary information on the computer
system, and explain how payment was
mis-applied. I followed up with the
proper department. What are your
weaknesses?
I have a tendency to arrive for work
before my shift begins. My goal is to
exceed the quota, but after listening
to co-workers slowed the practice. Why
did you leave your last job?
It's not a good idea to remark badly
about your former manager, co-workers.
Tell the truth. It's possible you didn't
like your former manager. There's no
need to share it in the interview.
I reached my potential there, and want
to explore a new career. Be yourself
during the interview.
There is a question that spreads panic,
but stay calm.
The question is:
Why were you fired from your previous
job?
My experiences, qualifications, weren't
appreciated. However, I feel your
organization can benefit from them.
Is there anything you'd like to add,
ask?
I read in your mission statement about
your company going green. I like the
concept, and want to share in it.
A job interview is mastered when you're
prepared, and organized.
