I have seen people say they do writing in their free time. But I dont understand what they write about. Do you just pick a topic research about it and then summarize it. Is it whatever comes into the mind?

If someone asks me to write about something, I would probably write about Tech but even that I can not do in great length.

What do you write about and how? Do you copy certain writting style from great authors? How do you increase your vocabulary (i think before writting one must read a lot)

But anyways I just write poetry recently, the most recent one was... oh... months ago 👀

But honestly I'm probably gonna work on a memoir next do its just... remembering.

I really want to eventually write a story that has those anime style flashbacks that are emotional af.

I like the themes of war (in fiction at least), passage of time, nostalgia. I mean Frieren style flashbacks, that type of frequency that is used. I like the contrast thing, between eras and also between countries. Like I wanna write one country about its war, and another thats insulated from whats happening, like multiple PoVs like in a ASOIAF type thing (but more ameteur cuz my garbage will never become that popular lmfao)

But poetry is when i want a short simple and emotional art, its my way of "painting" but with words.

Im probably not gonna do long stories any time soon, shorter stories, in an "anthology" format is probably more satisfying.
