[Fixed]-Django does not write to the database from form (not admin)

You have instantiated a ModelForm without reference to the model. Perhaps you should be using a plain form like so:

from django import forms

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    # define fields

If you use a ModelForm you have to specify the model in a Meta internal class like so:

from . import models
from django import forms

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
  class Meta:
      model = models.MyModel
      fields = ['field1', 'field2',]

Check out https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/forms/modelforms/ and https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/forms/api/ for more details. I would strongly recommend mastering the docs as they are world class.
