How do the failed writers of /lit/ter choose what to write about?

How did you choose to ask that question? How does anyone choose anything?

I thought about the subject and it made me curious.

If you don't know what to write about, then why do you want to write? That for you it's not about writing, but about being a writer? Atleast your stupid question gives this impression

If you have any imagination you can answer your own question then.

I write as a way to deal with intrusive thoughts due to OCD. That's why I always warn my friends who are about to read something I wrote that it might contain what I broadly define as "gross subjects"

My life. Plenty to write about that way.

Things that happen to me or around me, how I feel about those things.

Also, I am quite frequently inspired by dreams I have. I've even had everything from phrases to lines to an entire poem that I literally wrote in my sleep.
