Of course, you can do research. A lot of writers do. A lot of famous, well-paid writers do research, even for their fiction. That’s what they do.
I belong to the other camp. I belong to the autobiographical writers. For one reason, I don’t like to do research. And the other reason is, what I don’t remember I make up. That’s why it’s called fiction.
This leads us to the title of this post. If you are a writer who belongs to the second camp, then by all means write about what you know. And your life is what you know. You’ll never run out of material. I haven’t run out of material and I’m retired.
And if this kind of writing was good enough for Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald and Raymond Carver and Dorothy Parker, then it’s good enough for me.
