If everyone only wrote what they know as in what they experience in their own lives, we would be VERY short of historical fiction, fantasy and horror. You've nailed it - if you know your characters (and do the research necessary to make their worlds believable), the writing world is your oyster!

I love that. What a great way to say it.

You are brilliant :) I think everyone struggles with the concept of writing what you know vs. what you want and you encapsulated exactly why we should write what moves us because inside the framework is some piece that we *know*. :)

I've always wondered about that adage as well because, after all, we write *fiction*. If it was entirely true wouldn't it be...you know...NON-fiction???

Oh that's great. That has been one of my fears in starting anything substantial, I am very limited in only writing things that I have personally experienced.

So, the key would be to meet my characters, and let them have their *own* experiences. I am happy to go along for the ride.

"There is one very rich heiress who keeps poking around my head, but even she insists on wearing pants."
So you're a very rich heiress then?
