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)

    I used to write in my journal almost every morning. Did so for years but I’ve recently fallen out of the habit.

    I also used to write science or fantasy fiction but haven’t done that in decades.

    I do frequently write very short essays, more like in-depth blog posts, on a gaming forum. Usually how the game reflects aspects of real life on a philosophical level.

    I struggle with the craft of writing and my more serious stuff gets, at best, a lukewarm reception.

    Ironically, my handcrafted memes, joke posts, and quips are very popular there and I have a knack for conjuring up ‘likes’ by doing so but it doesn’t interest me on a deep level.
