Hi Everyone,
I’m blogging at Romance Unversity today. Come check out my guest post, Reinventing the Cliche Write What You Know.
I’m super excited about this post. In it, I ask the question, what does “write what you know” really mean, and suggest an alternative application of this tired, oft-repeated piece of advice.
I’d love to get your thoughts, so hop over to Romance University and let us know what you think!
Cheers for now,
Veronica

I will Mira thank you … all your re-bloggings of other posts are fabulous but time sometimes inhibits me from reading your re-posts and commenting! I always ‘star’ them. Yours I read straight away!

Write what you know – means to write what you’ve experienced and understand. But there’s a catch. Tolstoy wrote with experience and understanding about childbirth. He had great empathy. We see by empathy and contrast. One can know anything, it is possible; and that is an inside job. In a class I took with a great artist, Minoru Kawabata, a student came to complaining loudly that her painting hadn’t improved though she’d had 8 lessons. He pointed back to himself (being too polite to point directly at her) and said a few times, “It’s in here, here.” Concluding: one has a head start writing about what one knows, but writing without growing is wasted.
