There are about a million writing styles personal and different to each individual writes. There are also about a million writing genres, and you might not know this, but many stories are heavily autobiographical. Even if the author doesn't let the reader know.
When you write about a personal experience or something that happened to someone you might or might not know, it's considered non-fiction writing. But, getting inspired by those experiences and taking them into the next step and level, the fictional level is the greatest plan for writing a story. Especially when you have nothing to write about.
1. Many people say you should, "write about what you know." Do not ignore them. If you grew up on a chicken farm in Alabama or spent twenty years trying to be a gymnast or printer in Greenland, write about those experiences. Don't write about an actress in Hollywood, you know nothing about actresses or Hollywood. It's better to write about what you know instead of trying to guess what it would be like.
2. Writing is about getting out of your comfort zone. If you get too comfortable about writing about things that happened, you won't have the room to improve your creativity. For example, your childhood best friends - 12 years old- ran away the day after she comes out of the closet without telling a soul. Maybe you're fascinated by a Car technician as a kid and always wondered what'll be like. Explore this and then make your own world.
This doesn't mean write about something you hate or something you don't find interesting.
