Interesting. Can you not write about other things that disgust you or you don't identify with? Like a murder mystery or something you wouldn't be able to write a convincing murderer? (Murder just as a random example, feel free to fill in anything else in your imagination there). Or are you one of the writers that really takes the "write what you know" to heart?

Either way is fine! It's not a judgement question, more that I just find how people work interesting.

Hmmmmmm I never tried to write a murder mystery story but I suppose the murder bit would make me uncomfortable, yes. Not the mystery part though. I just think I would feel like I am not able to properly convey the angst of the character who lost their loved one for instance, because I thankfully never lost a loved one to murder - and I know some people are really good at writing things they have 0 experience in/0 interest in living, but for me that would be sort of difficult, yes. Since I write to vent/channel feelings if there’s nothing I can relate to, or nothing I feel like researching, it’s just not fun for me. And I think it shows in my writing… how much fun I had writing it.

That makes sense. For me writing is both what you described - working through feelings - and a fun exercise in imagination. I like to sometimes take someone that is the opposite of me and try to kind of imagine how they'd work and what it would feel like, like an extreme case of empathy.

I have a friend that is a little more like you - she likes to have at least one character that is kind of the stand in for her emotions but then she likes to research the hell out of everything and everyone else in the story and dive into things she doesn't know about.

Thanks for indulging my curiosity. People are fascinating to me and I love to discuss this stuff but I know sometimes my questions can come off as insulting or offensive which I definitely do not mean them to be.
