I pally on the notion of not knowing to let others tell me what I don't.
do you have to know everything that you write?

Someone challenged me the other day to try writing from what I don't know,an experience completely opposite of mine. I gave it a try, and actually had a lot of fun with it. The biggest challenge is to go beyond just stereotypes of how it's perceived, and actually partly become that experience. However, at this point you in some ways are writing from you now do know, so I don't know if writing about what your ignorant on is possible.

I think what is possible is to just write without trying too much. Understanding plays a part and is the start the rest just fall into place.
I sometime do not understand what I write and so I just let it. I can't visualise things I am afraid. Lots of reader say they do. I get headaches if I try and so i just write.
I can't read dense long texts either and so I stick to short like poetry o very snappy stories. I write them without trying to figure out why the meanings.
By the way do you have what you wrote?

Besides the fact that pally is not a verb......when you write about something you have no concept of, as Shaman mentioned, you begin to rely on stereotypes or generalized facts from Wikipedia or such sources.
I am not one who believes that you can only write about experiences you have personally had, but if you are going to venture into unknown territory, copious amounts of research is needed (whether first or second hand) before you have anything worth reading.

Cacian, I'd love to share it but I'm going to revise it before posting. For the sake of not being perceived as racist or prejudice, I'd like to revise some stereotypes that I can admit unfortunately seeped in.

Well the whole idea of writing is to have fun.
To write is to make things up mix them up a bit to give the concepts of a new lease of life.
One does not have to copy by the book what things are made for. We already have the knowledge. Why read about it too?
It is just something I thought of since everything we do is down to what we know. Could not one read something completely different new for a change?
I personally write out of cliches because I tend to bore from repeating what is already been said talked written about heard somewhere else.
I call it gossip.
I suppose that explains why I loath instructions at the back of any packaging it takes the fun out of trials.

I personally would not worry about it. I would just put a warning but if that is what you wish.

Trust me, how it is right now I'll seem cruel and rude. I took opposite experience as far as I could, meaning physical features, gender, habits, occupation, and intelligence. It's like the dark and twisted version of Forrest Gump, only with harsher drugs.I personally would not worry about it. I would just put a warning but if that is what you wish.

LOL it sounds good to me.
Or why not post version to show the changes.
Whichever you feel is right Shaman.

Well. Be careful. Not anything can be tried without tragedy. But you have shown enough cleverness of the Allegro Ma Non Troppo kind. LOL
