Hi Harriet and thanks very much for this chapter. I've seen
writers defy this train of thought...but I believe I probably
write better on subjects I know.

One of the writers who could conceivably write in any subject and make you believe him...was our very much loved..Dawg, Bobbie Gallup's husband, who passed away ...a few years back. He was so incredibly well read...and could make up such stories,.....we were never quite sure if his daily song was from experience or made up grin . I think you would have enjoyed his lyrics.

I'm not as well read as I should be...and I think at times, it puts a bit of a bump in my writing. So I write mostly what I know or have seen. Writing outside my comfort zone is.......
uncomfortable.

I'm not sure I've given this topic much thought till I read this chapter. This is such a great idea sharing your book with us..and then discussing it a short section at a time. thanks...

best to you... smile
