Many people say to write what you know. And that’s good advice. But part of the wonder and joy of writing is to ask questions, to come to know different types of people, to understand different ways of thinking, and to explore humanity and see what you find. So in that, I can’t write simply what I know, because, really, I know nothing. I’m a caveman (woman). And there is much to discover as I battle that blank page.

Why do you write?
