>write what you know!
it's actually true though
how you gonna write about sex when you've never had sex
how you gonna write about living on a remote island when you've never set foot on one
how you gonna write about a nightmare involving ghosts when you've never had one
how you gonna write about being a junky when you've never taken drugs
how you gonna write about the taste of coffee when you've never had it
how you gonna write about the pain of someone close to you dying when it's never happened to you

even more outlandish things are based upon writers' experiences and perceptions

it wont be authentic and the reader will know

By that logic, almost no one should be writing books since everyone in the modern western world lives a really shitty coddled life with no transcendental experiences.

You can research all those things. Ideally by first hand experience, but you can also interview other people or read books about it. If you only "write what you know," it turns into a teenager's diary.

I think people read this as saying "dont bother exploring, just write what you already have experience in" when what I think it really means is "learn shit before you write about it."
