Thanks for the comments.

I’ve always pretty much shrugged off “write what you know” because…well, I don’t know that much. But the emotions. Yeah, those I know. Good post, Jan!

I’ve always thought “write what you know” refers to emotional truth. Since we all are capable of identifying with the universal truths of human emotions, then we are all capable of writing just about anything if people — fictional or real — are involved.

It’s not about what you’ve physically experienced, but what you’ve emotionally experienced. If we only wrote about things we had physically experienced, the number of published books would be 1/4 of what it is now, at most. That’s what research is for. Great post!
