Write what you know. I've heard that advice all my life. But is it good advice?
What I know is my box, my comfort zone. The people that I am comfortable with are usually people like me. My comfort zone is where I live, where I worship, my own neighborhood grocery store where I know what's on every aisle.
When I expand my circle of friends, I expand my thinking and see myself differently.
Much of my life right now is outside of the lifelong comfort zone or "box" and stepping out was the best thing for me as a writer and Christian. Read this, and give it some thought.
When I am writing I want and love to write about what I observe in my environment, what mostly appeals on my heart and touch lives…
Amen!
