A new untitled document is how the program is opening, give a title to the document and start writing

Or do you want to open a document you have previously made?
Open Recent Documents should do that. https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/27347

Open without --writer? Simply...
This opens the LibreOffice Menu where you can select Writer, Calc, Base, or other tools. But when you open Writer, it will open a blank document. That's normal.

Why not just open it from your Menu or from your Panel?
You can click Libre Office Writer in the Menu and it will open, or when you get to that point, you can right-click to add to your panel, add to desktop, and so on.

Code:
libreoffice --helpIndicates that the "--writer" option creates a new document. It doesn't mention that it opens it but I guess that goes without saying.
Less:
lowriter --helpIndicates that the "--nodefault" option "Starts without displaying anything except the splash screen (do not display initial window)". Unfortunately that's exactly what it does - the splash screen goes away after a few seconds and you are left with -nothing-, although "pidof lowriter" indicates it is still running. I'm imagining Dr Nefario saying, "Yes... I was wondering, under what circumstances would we use this?"
I suspect the LibreOffice Writer UI is so document-centric that it just can't run without a document, even it's an empty one.

I like how marbles is closing his affairs
Your version of Linux is supported until June 2025, so there is plenty of time for you to learn a whole lot more.

If you tell us which version of linux mint you do have, I can tell you how long it is supported for.

That is Totally incorrect. You could not be more wrong if you tried all day.
Basics stay the same, when new features are added that will be something new to learn. I'm surprised you haven't taken my offer to buy you a Windows license yet.
You got in just in time, Maarten. I am reluctantly closing this Thread, as it is clear that the OP is unwilling or unable to comply with the reasonable requests of Staff.
I have tried to remain patient with him, because, with myself having 8 mental health disorders (all medicated, all managed) I try to go the extra yards with people I believe likely to be challenged.
It is entirely up to our good Members here to continue to provide what assistance and experience they can and have, to him.
In closing, and for the record, the OP has said in Forum at least twice that he is using LO 6.4.7/6.4.7.2, and for that to be so, he is using one of these Linux Mints
LM 21.0 'Ulyana'
LM21.1 'Ulyssa'
LM21.2 'Uma' or
LM21.3 'Una'
For all of those, the end of life is June 2025, as I have said above.
Thanks to all
