My belief is that everyone has 6 or 7 substantial things to say when they meet someone new or have a deeper discussion with an acquaintance. These may be stories, anecdotes, or knowledge that people find interesting. It's likely you've honed them over years. Write these down and sharpen them. Share them with friends and get their feedback. This removes the problem of what to write, which can be daunting as a new writer. And you may end up discovering something new in these old conversation pieces!
