William Faulkner was a Nobel Prize–winning novelist who wrote challenging prose and created the fictional Yoknapatawpha County. He is best known for such novels as 'The Sound and the Fury' and 'As I Lay Dying.' (from biography.com)

“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”

To write well, we must step out of our comfort zone. While the old adage of 'write what you know' is true - once you learn something, you 'know it'. Write what calls to you - even if you know nothing about the subject.

All my best
