Writing Rule #3: Get a Life
3. In order to write accurately, you have to live a real life. Life is a toolbox. Write what you know. Once again, this might sound obvious. But sometimes the richest moments you can create on paper are drawn from personal experience. The more you have to draw on, the more textured your world will become. That's not to say that you can't be an excellent writer without loads of life experience, but it does make the process easier. |
