My guess was that it was a wrong question because it seems to stop you very early.

If having your writing be useful is a primary motivation, then maybe "what do I know well that I can explain to people which they aren't likely to have seen already?" would be better.

Another might be "what's something interesting that I know well that a good many people haven't heard of?".
