Words of Wisdom

"The question every young writer asks is: 'What should I write?' And the cliched answer is, 'Write what you know.' This advice always leads to terrible stories in which nothing interesting happens. The best advice is not to write what you know, it’s write what you like. Write the kind of story you like best. We make art because we like art. All fiction, in fact, is fan fiction. The best way to find the work you should be doing is to think about the work you want to see done that isn’t being done, and then go do it. Draw the art you want to see, make the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read." - How To Steal Like An Artist (And 9 Other Things Nobody Told Me) - Austin Kleon
