Calling All Writers, Creative Thinkers and Headline Helpers!
Today, we are launching a new writers club, called the 7 Cups Writers Guild! This club will be for those of you who are natural readers and writers.
Project Goal: To create unique, interesting content to share on the 7 Cups blog for the enjoyment of both our community and outsiders.
Wed like topics to be interesting to a wide variety of people, and not necessarily based on personal stories and listening tips. The goal is to create and share content that can inspire and interest a broad range of people.
One way to think about this project, is headline grabbing, informative content. You can gain some inspiration from the below sites, but this will be the 7 Cups version!

I checked the blog. I'll love to contribute.
These topics interest me.
oh wow, I just came across this post. I would love to participate and help out !! This idea is so interesting :D
This is a great idea! I already have few ideas in mind. But I also have a couple ofquestions.
A lot of articles that go around this kinds of portals that are mentioned in the original post are just being recycled. I was wondering is there a way to assure that this content will be original, or is it not that important? And how will copyright issues be dealt with (I have never thought about this before, but it just crossed my mind)?
How serious are this articles supposed to be? Is it ok to cite some scientific articles or lectures or just mention them as a resource in the end, or is it preferable if we write from our own subjective perspective (like posts in personal blogs would be)?
Should we also provide some sort ofaccompanying content like pictures, orvideos that go with the topic or some links for further reading?
What a great project!
I am studyingCommunication at university, so this is my area 
I'll work on it and I'll send you the article as soon as possible 
Hi, I love writing. Will sure write blogs.
This is great! I'm definitely up for it!
I would love to write an article on better understand eating disorders to help education family members, friends of those who are suffering with an eating disorder as well as other listeners who have no experience with these disorders.
I would love to write an article on the importance of humor for counteracting depression and anxiety; a coursory glance at the spreadsheet says that there isn't anything like that. Is there any interest for something like that?
I'd love to write a piece on healing without medicine (meditation, crystal healing, herbal remedies etc) but I was wondering whether it'd be okay to do? Or whether the talk of alternative 'medicine' so to speak is a no go?
Are you still looking for these?
My name is on the spreadsheets by the topics which I will aim to do (if still needed, presuming yes?). Let me know.
