The SM58 is a ok mic for a concert but not the best for recording. Get the Blue Snowball - it has gotten great reviews. Condenser mics like the Snowball capture much more detail than dynamic mics like the SM58.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
