Write what you know.
If you know nothing write about how it feels to know nothing.
If you're good at writing people will read it

>many such c---actually NOT many cases. As prior anon said if you are TRULY an inspired writer you could transform the charting and cataloging of one month of bodily functions into a work of eternal resonance .. it's less about the creation and more about .. supplication to whatever already swirling around and inside us .. Just white.

You must be very uncreative to fail to understand understand such a simple conundrum

I struggle with the opposite. I have this huge imaginary world in my head that I've been constructing since I could remember. But I have no writing poise at all. I've thought about hiring a trustful ghostwriter to do it for me, but I get scared because I dont want anyone to steal my ideas, or if the books become popular enough, I dont want to be fucked over by money or anything legal.

>talent
Literally pointless when quality is subjective and the content has to adhere to the current narrative.

>You have to fish where the fish are.

You have Ideas worth developing, but you're letting them get away. It's worse than murder.
