Carmen, thanks for coming by! I’m so sorry for the delay in my response; it’s been a crazy few months :) I loved the quote, as well – it really prompted me to think about the “why” and the “what” of my own writing.

Hi! I just found your site through LibraryThing and thought I’d say hi. I love this quote by Annie Proulx.

Mm, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has Issues with that sentence, tidbit of advice. My pet theory is that's it written by someone who doesn't know their grammar and meant "Know what you write" because, ordered that way, the advice makes sense. No? Although changing it to "Write what you find interesting" is a good adaptation too. ^-^ Going to have to remember that one. *nods* .-= Shanra´s last blog ..Kaspar by Michael Morpurgo =-.

That is an amazing quote – simply because it rings true. What you’re interested in pushes you further, what you already know can limit you and your perspective, unless the point is to reflect on what you know after the fact. Keep on pushing!

Your mission, and you MUST choose to accept it, is to find that quote!

Sometimes if I write about what I’m passionate about, it requires an NC-17 rating… I think I’ll save those passions for another time and place – though I *have* already created http://frisky.femmeflavor.com for just such a possibility ;)

I actually read a good variation on this idea and I'm hitting my head against a wall trying to remember the quote. I believe it had to do with not limiting yourself to what you know, but write what you imagine. Maybe it should be changed to write what you are passionate about. .-= Cristina´s last blog ..Home Spun comic strip #410 =-.
