An outline may also help. You know writing out ahead of time the events that will happen. Then just fill in the stuff between.
Writing about personal stuff is also good. It is the easiest thing to write about. And you dont have to share it with anyone. Just do it as practice. And one day it will exist as a record of your lifes experiences. Those are precious, or at least one day they will be, even the mundane things.

I have never been very good with outlines. Failed the writing exam because we had to have one. I rarely plan my stories because usually the idea comes to me and I don't have time to plan anything out.
A lot of things are summaries that I had written out and I have a few chapter stories but they are mainly fanfiction...I dunno, I guess my stories get based off my life because I usually only write when something happens to me.
And I have my journal for my personal things...though a lot of pages are torn out because my mom read it
