Everything that I have read on writing says that you should write about what you know. I disagree, what if what you know is boring? Who will read you? Why write if no-one will read? How do you make a boring topic interesting?
I'm losing track of what I have chatted about here to be honest, so forgive me if we have already discussed this.
I am writing a Cookbook of Heirloom family Recipe's. Which I know I have told you, but I am also writing a book (albeit a short one) on the process of starting and keeping a Diary. Something I have done since I was eleven. Pretty boring subject material, solid thesis not much plot, no story to hold the reader.
The other things I know, I cringe to write about given recent books on the Best Sellers list, I think I'll let Vampires and Werewolves hang out in my filing cabinet for a little while. Elves and Dragons, Wizards and Witches, while I dearly love them I don't know what to do with them.
I was spent the first half of my life in Seattle, the second half in Small Town Utah, now I am living in Historic York, Pennsylvania and working ten minutes from Downtown Baltimore Maryland. Professionally, I am in Customer Service, I am a Wireless Device Expert for a major cell phone service provider (I think I told you this) it is becoming a technologies industry. As a result I know mobile technology and I know people. My Dad is a conspiracy nut, so I know guns and explosives. I am a Witch, as a result I know herbs, rocks, spells and rituals. I am an avid reader so I know books.
Not very exciting.Unless you get creative. With a little research anyone can write about anything.
