Rule one: Write about settings you're familiar with.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a writer, I'm driven by settings. Others are driven by characters or predicaments, but with me, settings come first.
People always say, 'Write what you know', but I've always found that to be terrible advice. It's quite limiting, what you know.
Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
You write about what you know, and you write about what you want to know.
You write about what you know.
I write about what I know.
Do not copy my style! The first rule of writing is write about what you know, not what you think you know. So, think about what you've done in your life and write about that.
I have rules for everything.
Write what you like; there is no other rule.
The more restrictions you have, the easier anything is to write.
