Hey /lit/, I’m trying to get in the habit of writing everyday to eventually improve my writing skills, but I’m having trouble with thinking of things to write about. Does anyone have some suggestions? What do you guys usually write about? I’d rather not write about my day or something like that because my days are usually pretty uneventful.
Also, when you’re writing just little things everyday to improve your writing, how do you write? I mean stylistically speaking?
Sorry if this doesn’t make much sense, I’m just trying to get myself to write more but I’m not sure what to write about.

If you can't think of anything to write about, why do fuck do you even want to write?

>a trucker gives a a hitchhiker, who has waited for a ride for 2 hours in the desert, 2 minutes to explain why he should get a free ride
>two virgins pop each others cherry (sex is hard to write about)

>two soldiers find each other under heavy artillery fire in WW1. after they have cried togetherfor a few hours the shelling stops, they are both alive and realise that they are enemies

I write plays. What I do to get plots to work upon is to get movie scripts and blend them, sometimes 2 or 3 movies, into new entities.

For comedies I get old romantic comedies from the 30s, 40s and 50s and modernize them, and for tragedies I generally use themes such as gangster movies and war movies.

I use the plots, but the language and the character personalities are all mine.
