Welcome to the site! One thing you can do is to use the site's chat room to ask for help or advice on formulating questions. Chat usage does tend to be a little erratic; you might get an answer in a …

I don't know what all of those are, but if they are techniques for planning, writing, or refining a written work, then questions about them (and how to use them) are on-topic.

This is made worse by SE using ginormous links to support their analytics; 100k just doesn't go as far as it used to. …
