“It's better to write about things you feel than about things you know about.”
- L. P. Hartley (1895-1972), British novelist
Humorist Mark Twain said, “Write what you know.”
And other writers have been debating his advice ever since.
Does “write what you know” mean to base our stories on our practical life experience – education, occupation, travels? Or does “write what you know” mean to tune into our emotions and write from the overflow of our heart?
