Life Lessons

One of the most common pieces of advice I've heard about writing is "write what you know."  As a kid, I HATED writing about "real life."  I liked to make up characters and experiences.  Now that I'm graduating, all I want to do is write about real things.  Everything I've submitted in this class so far has roots in truth.  I guess now that I'm older I've actually done and experienced things worth writing about.
