what ppl usually write about

in my opinion people write about two main things: what they want (need, love, long for...etc) and what they know (have experienced, discovered, known,feel...etc) For example someone who discovered...say a element (since i'm currently talking about that in science) so they write a long boring book all about it.(what they know) Or someone could secretly love their neighbor so they write a story/poem about how their neighbor falls in love with them. (what they want) I'm sure you ppl's could make a long arguement about this so go ahead and say i'm wrong. But this is how i see it. what do you ppl's think?

I'm not arguing with you because that is quite true and the reason why they write about these things is because these are their feelings and they are trying to get those out. Am I right?

yep u r. but there are also the ppl that write about stuff they don't want or know...like someone who writes about rape maybe never got raped and never wants to...lol i'm arguing about my own topic! yeah i'm weird...

usually when writing doesn't reflect what the writer either knows or wants (even just a little bit), it is shallow and unfulfilling. but, that's just my opinion.

Ppl write bout what they feel, and past experiences as it sort of makes you feel a bit betta getting it off your chest.

i usually write about love, whether i love or miss or want something, you know. or if im angry. i can't be told to write about something because its needs to be something i can relate to. i had to write a poem about sharing for english and it turned out SO bad because it wasnt something i feel so it was horrible. i have to read it in front of the class and i dont want to.

Both sides of the argument are true. People usally write about how they feel or what they wont or know.
But sometimes people do write about what they don't want to happen, like for an example sometimes I write about death, I clearly do not want that to happen at all.
