If you think you are depressed then you are right, writing is hugely therapeutic, as to what to write about, figure it out. The thing that makes a good writer a good writer is first and foremost a good idea, then an intruguing flow. If it was that easy, then everybody would be doing it. You can teach proper grammar, you can teach the ideas behind rythem and flow, and you can even stimulate the imagination, but you can't teach somebody to be a great writer, you just are. Call on your histories, things that interest you, your memories, hell you can sit in a shopping mall and invent stories for the people you see, it's called people watching. Entire worlds in your head that each different person has a role in, it's fantastic fun. When a thought intrigues you, write it down in a little notepad, when an interesting phrase comes your way jot it down as well. You'll get a subject sooner or later, it'll just hit you like BAM! After that, to make it good, well that'll be up to you too. Tough work, but fun. Enjoy

A writer cannot live without writing. A depressed person or someone who is thinking a lot, doesn't necessarily equate to earning money at the bookstands. If you have a passion for the pen, then simply pursue and the subjects will illuminate themselves. If the pen leads you to depression, then drop it and pursue a physical activity in which you believe you can strive. You should reward yourself often, with little steps, because the big steps happen without you even noticing them... seek happiness and understand the liberated "you".

First realize that writing is not lucrative to most. For most people it is a modest living. But, stick with your dreams and they can come true. Also keep in mind that often times, the best stories come from situations where you weren't looking for a story. By that I mean, try lots of different things the broader your experiences the easier it will be to give depth to your characters or situations.

Start by writing about things from your own experience, or about matters that otherwise interest you. Try writing a journal of your daily goings-on. and see if you can weAve them into a story.

Write about what you know.
Write about what interests you. (More research involved.)
If it is interesting to you it will be to someone else as well.
Try short stories first.

anything you want to write but whether it is 'sellable' is another matter alltogether.
