A good writer knows their range of knowledge yet pull from different experiences whether personal or shared. Like you said...it's all about starting with the human condition...along the way we find that there's always some commonality. It's also important for us not to stifle our creative side (Escapades is a great example).

Except for my diaries and journals, I have been quiet most of my adult life. Now that I'm free, spiritualy and emotionally, I have so much to say. One person asked me how do I manage more than one blog. Easy, like you, I have a lot to say and a lot to share. Like it, Love it or leave it. I don't write to get compliments or praise, I write to free my spirit, heal my past and hopefully to help just one person if not two.<BR/><BR/>Love, peace and blessings for a great weekend.A Free Spirit Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875209868146874354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-33230557844905504422009-03-27T09:45:00.000-04:002009-03-27T09:45:00.000-04:00Point well taken Miz...I may start a story with th...Point well taken Miz...I may start a story with the core of what I know or experience..but I too have written from the viewpoint of women, men,children, etc. But I always start with that basic truth that we all know...the Human condition.<BR/><BR/>So Nice to hear from you!! :)Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325582825431855883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-6597387172597053302009-03-27T09:35:00.000-04:002009-03-27T09:35:00.000-04:00I kind of agree and disagree with this statement, ...I kind of agree and disagree with this statement, even though it has been preached to me time and time again. I believe our imagination and ability to create a piece can be based upon the sum of our experiences, and yet take place in another state, country, land or outerspace. It is the human condition that we all know, and this can transpire into any story as long as you do your research and get the facts right. I have wrote detective stories, stories with male voices, and children stories...though i have been a child, i've never been a detective, nor male.Mizrepresenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992754393960138393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-45262040159457591802009-03-27T09:08:00.000-04:002009-03-27T09:08:00.000-04:00Hopefully you'll post that story _"Haywood" on "Es...Hopefully you'll post that story _"Haywood" on "Escapades" one day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-47923469449339286272009-03-27T09:07:00.001-04:002009-03-27T09:07:00.001-04:00So, This is how the future bloggergot his start eh...So, This is how the future blogger<BR/>got his start eh??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-58098100363946230822009-03-27T09:07:00.000-04:002009-03-27T09:07:00.000-04:00Great advice you were given..If not for his advice...Great advice you were given..If not for his advice we would be deprived of "Keith's Space " and<BR/>"Escapades"..Lolololol-Keep bangin them keys good brother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-80284467434346251712009-03-27T09:05:00.000-04:002009-03-27T09:05:00.000-04:00That was great advice he gave you.That was great advice he gave you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-28604505549573519762009-03-27T09:02:00.001-04:002009-03-27T09:02:00.001-04:00I always find that my writing is better and flows ...I always find that my writing is better and flows effortlessly when I write about what I know. However, I force myself to get into the head of a character that I don't know. Even when I take that approach, I try to build their features off someone I do know. <BR/><BR/>Keeping to that line makes for the best stories. Those are the stories that resonate with readers most, because you write with more passion. Everything is real when it comes from a place close to the heart. The farther you get away from that, the more unbelievable it becomes. Either that or you have a heck of a lot of work ahead of you due to the research, and then you still might not pull it off.Rich Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402320643799892517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-79297234184522165302009-03-27T09:02:00.000-04:002009-03-27T09:02:00.000-04:00If you weren't as real as you are, you wouldn't co...If you weren't as real as you are, you wouldn't connect with so many people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-60277258509051092382009-03-27T09:00:00.000-04:002009-03-27T09:00:00.000-04:00Live Life and Write...That's the best advice to pa...Live Life and Write...That's the best advice to pass on to any writer or blogger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-31516849332406217172009-03-27T08:59:00.000-04:002009-03-27T08:59:00.000-04:00I'm feelin you on this one...Don't fake the funk, ...I'm feelin you on this one...Don't fake the funk, give it to us from where ya from?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623792489158195598.post-85740516531286869482009-03-27T08:58:00.001-04:002009-03-27T08:58:00.001-04:00What can I say Fam?
