You can write and talk about a lot of things you like, but it’s difficult to do so without sounding like you are promoting it.
When searching for passion (in writing, in creating, in art), find something that makes you angry.
I’ve noticed hundreds of exceptional products made because the inventor was angry that things were the way they were.
Sure, you can find something you love and add to it so that you love it more, but I can’t sense the passion when you do that.
If you communicate to me that you added more frosting to the middle of an oreo, great, I’m sure some people will like that. But, if you get frustrated that they don’t offer enough variety in terms of the flavor of frosting and then go out and create a new frosting, you will certainly get a lot more attention.
(Now is a good time to read about Cheez-Its.)
Remarkable change and creation stem from passion, and who is to say that anger is not a fair place to find passion?
