yes

>>15179797
No I just steal plots from the bible and convert them to modern day.

i can vividly imagine and FEEL, emotionally, things that have never happened to me.

if you can't do that you're a non-internal-dialogue and should go back to staring at a glowing box.

>zero life experience

i was home schooled and never went to college
my life practically stopped after middle school

I can make the overall setting and world interesting through knowledge and research, but when it comes to the dialogues and plot I struggle to think of things because I have no idea what would actually happen in the world I created

>>15179823
That's still something to write about, even if you don't end up committing to it.

You should, they can be fun

>>15179811
That is what every author has done in history.

So I guess I'm on the right track.

Do you characters care?
What I mean is, a boring plot is usually because undue weight is being placed on sequences or happenings that there isn't enough intensity or want to justify.
You have to justify why your characters care, why they are willing to move heaven and earth if they have agency, or why they react so intensely as they do if they are passive.

Things that happen in real life is a good start.
Sibling Rivalries. Passive Aggressiveness between family members or colleagues that eventually explodes into open conflict. Sexual Bondage. Moral indebtedness. Clashes of egos manifesting in outrageous personal competitions etc. etc. etc.

Copy greentexts from here and pretend they're your experiences.

Congrats, you can write wish-fulfillment fantasies! Because if you have "no life experience" this is what your books will be!

This, I want to write a book where the protagonist walks down for breakfast that his wife made, just to realize he has no wife and he just forgot to take his pills.

>zero life experience
What "life experience" did Emily Dickinson have? How about Jane Austen? Proust?

>drugs and stuff
No.

How much do you think I could make by stealing greentexts and revamping them into isekai stories?
