Note sull'episodio
On this episode we'll discuss how to write what you know - easily one of the most common pieces of writing advice that is extremely logical on the surface, but no one ever explains in practical use. Writing what you know means you are using personal experiences you have had in your life and gifting the idea of it to your character to translate your story into a real and grounded reading experience.
I've never ridden a dragon, but I have ridden a horse and I've gone camping, so I can use those experiences to describe the way the dragon moves under me, rocking me side to side on the leather saddle, and then dipping backward and forward as it dives or climbs through the air, the wind whipping at my hair. The smoke from the dragon's mouth wafting into my face smelling of ash and green wood sputtering in the embers. - see? Its easy. That's what makes it fun. Use what you have experiences throughout your life and apply it to your story, and a depth of reality will grow around those moments the readers spend with the characters.
