Writing What You Know (Or Don’t Know)
It’s a simple philosophy, write what you know—perhaps too simple. We are creative people and writing about only what we’ve experienced seems limiting. What does it actually mean anyway? How can you write a science fiction, horror or fantasy novel if what you write must be based on only what you’ve experience in real life? Then again, how do you write what you don’t know? Does that mean spending time and energy doing large amounts of research? The answer is simpler than you think. Writing what you know is actually a good philosophy, but it’s not the entire philosophy. It’s just the start. In this workshop we will explore what it means to write what you know, then go outside the realm of our own experiences and write what we don’t know.
Join award-winning writer, Eileen Albrizio to explore these writing challenges and more!
