While I do believe that you should take what you’ve experienced and felt and apply it to your writings, I think that ‘write what you know’ kind of cuts the heart out of the creative process.
I think it’s kind of stupid advice if you ask me. Cause, really, how many books would we be missing out on if the authors only wrote what they knew?
I think it should be changed to “Write what you can imagine. But do so in a way that illuminates it for everyone to see.”
That’s more helpful than “Write what you know”.
Exactly.
I’d be very limited if I just stuck to what I knew. I can imagine a lot of things, some on the normal scale, and then some on the fantastical. I refused to be limited because I don’t know what it’s like to be a gay, teenage boy.
