Life experience makes for good writing, you don’t exactly have to be detailed you can leave a lot to ones imagination. Great article. But I disagree with you slightly, I think that writing from the soul can make you work a little more personal and people can feel you passion more.

Actually, I don’t reply to every comment but I try to reply to most. It takes time but then time runs out and you have to move on. But I want people to know that I do read every comment whether I reply to it or not.

They say, “Write what you know” and your advice fits right into this category. Another good one from you Guy! Thanks for your articles, I do enjoy them!

I agree with you totally, Guy. When you wrote about what you know, it is hard for someone else to dispute what you say, because it is your truth. Writing from our own experiences and about our own lives makes for a very interesting topic because it gives the reader insight as to who the real you is. Thanks for sharing this article. I really liked it. It was very good writing and much food for thought.

sometime fiction is easier then truth but writing from only life can make interesting stories,

Guy, I like how you think and write, I know it comes from within. This article has great depth, looking forward to more. Thank you!

P.S. I also like how you reply to every comment you receive, I wish I had the time for that.

Joanna, I’m too lazy to do a lot of research so I have to use my own life for content. And guess what? I still get some things wrong. I forget. At least in my fiction I can make up what I don’t remember.
