I wouldn't ask for ideas or things other people might like but rather try to compile things that interests you. On your profile, you mention how topics involving the military can be spooky, so why not start there. The more interesting the topic it is to you, the more time and effort you'll most likely put in to it.

So if we're involving the military what are some other things you find interesting, so you can spice-up the topic? Do want the story to involve ghosts of fallen soldiers? Maybe you want a war where the enemy is lead by a demon? Or perhaps a journal recalls a terrifying paranormal event of a soldier?

I'm just throwing examples of possible ideas, but again, it's easier if it's something you like.

Next, to help your understanding of a topic: read. Check out other stories of people who've written in that topic. For military, look under the military genre or if not there, check out another genre. See how other people craft their stories, practice it, and then when you feel confident enough, post it in the Workshop to get feedback. We can help give you insight on where you stand, but you have to meet us half way by first practicing and writing on your own (this includes proofreading your work too).

It won't be easy, but as you continue to practice and develop your skills, it will get easier.

Hope this helps.
