Characters! Who needs them in a story? If you don't want to be a writer, then you don't introduce characters. Not just people either but also other living things and inanimate objects. Whatever the subject of your story is, don't write about them. Write about the setting.
Having characters--living or inanimate objects, help drive a plot of the story. If all you write is the background, the setting which also involves politics of the country your character is in, then it will be boring. Being a writer involves characters, and they drive the story.
My challenge to you is: write a plot-driven story involving an inanimate object. You can personify the object.

How not too be a writer #7
Forget forming habits. There is no point to writing everyday. You have too many commitments that demand your attendion. Like keeping a house clean so roaches don't cone to feast. Or your job that pays the bills.
Once a month is all you can afford to write. Don't write every single day. Do you want to achieve your goal of not becoming a writer.
