One of my favorite tiny bits so far came via author Karen Cushman. I will paraphrase (though it might be an exact quote, actually, but since I'm not sure, I call it a paraphrase!).
They say write what you know. If I did that, it would be
I woke up.
I made stuff up.
I went to bed.
Instead, I say write what you want to know.
Indeed!

Love Karen Cushman. I'm including The Ballad of Lucy Whipple in my after-school book club this year. And love what she has to say. Writing what you know means nothing. Writing what you want to know opens the world.
