I want to write but my vocabulary is so limited it's embarrassing.
Do you really increase it by just reading more?
Any tips other than that?

Start an art collective of other writers if it gets too lonely.

Maintain low testosterone levels. Write female characters that talk about sexism in a medieval world with a flavor of modern psychology and personality disorder. Write about anime battles between characters that have a very distinctive non-western culture. Write about class and racial identity and struggle, with plenty of references to slavery. You now have won the female and minority fantasy audience. Here's your paycheck bro.
