@Stephanie - Glad...Thanks everyone for commenting.<br /><br />@Stephanie - Glad I could give you a catch phrase.<br /><br />You make some great points that I agree with. I write fantasy, and I make a lot of stuff up based on things that I know, like emotional truth that you mentioned.<br /><br />My point was that all writers do this already because there's no other way to right. If you're not writing what you know, what on Earth could you possibly be writing? What you don't know? That strikes me as a paradox.<br /><br />By researching a subject you don't know much about, you end up knowing more about it, thereby making it possible for you to write about it.<br /><br />Scientist (or anyone for that matter) don't know what goes on inside of a black hole. It would be impossible to write exactly what goes on inside a black hole. You could make something up and speculate, but those ideas wouldn't be based on what actually goes on inside of a black hole because no one knows that information. You would be essentially writing what you know, but not necessarily the truth.<br /><br />If "write what you know" means "write the emotional truth", then maybe the new phrase should be: Write the emotional truth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524233544265478661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055434585976176946.post-6825145768661519082011-06-02T20:04:40.391-04:002011-06-02T20:04:40.391-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524233544265478661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055434585976176946.post-89953281721511873492011-06-02T16:43:14.499-04:002011-06-02T16:43:14.499-04:00"You just got raptured. Deal with it." I..."You just got raptured. Deal with it." I laughed out loud at that. I'm using that whenever possible from now on. <br /><br />As much as I hate "Write what you know", I think there is a little nugget of truth buried in there. It's not obvious and so causes a lot of grief for beginning writers (me included). I think what it's basically saying is that writers need to write emotional truth. If you want to write a book about a childhood abuse survivor but have no personal experience, you need to research what a person in that situation would be feeling. If you're writing a fantasy about a princess taking the throne after her father is killed, you better know how to convey the grief and fear she'd reasonably be experiencing. It's not something you can fake or just leave out. You gotta KNOW it. <br /><br />It's not about content so much. If it were, there'd be no fantasy or sci-fi or...anything that interesting. It's about accessing emotional truth that you've either experienced personally or know through some kind of research. That's how I take it, anyway.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206089874019184766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055434585976176946.post-69044228451705302212011-06-02T13:48:44.289-04:002011-06-02T13:48:44.289-04:00LOVE THIS LIST.
