Write what you know or do you know too much?

So much for the saying- write what you know.

It happened to me too. So far I’ve only heard about it from a few sources and author J. Q. Rose in the podcast episode about her mystery romance Deadly Undertaking set in a funeral home.

Since the author was part of the family funeral business, she knew everything about it. When she started writing the mystery, Rose found out she knew too much and got involved personally in the story to the point where she had to stop for a while.

Well, this morning I thought Day 3 would be a breeze since I was writing about an interview for a prestigious job at a beautiful location. Not, only do I know everything about interviewing on both sides of the table, but I also know the location.

It was like pulling teeth; I had to leave and go for a ride. Even then it didn’t get any better. I barely finished my goal and logged in 2, 095 words with a major headache.

On the other hand, I put together a good recipe for fall risotto yesterday that I will share soon.
