Write What You Know	comment	Many shows, books, movies, and other media that depict a real-world activity (police procedures, military procedures, wilderness survival—hell, even hobbies like playing video games)—often get it totally wrong, with plenty of glaring flaws that anyone who has engaged in that activity could quickly point out. If you're not careful, you might even get Falsely Advertised Accuracy. Some people avoid this problem by Doing the Research, and some even go so far as to Show Their Work, going out of their way to show off facts that they learned while researching the activity. But some people don't need to Do the Research, because they already know. It's their life. The story they tell is their former profession. The world they build in the work of fiction is the world they actually grew up in. This is because some writers write what they know. And if they know their subject well, this puts them in a unique position that gives them an advantage over people who would have to go out of their way to research the subject instead. A police officer who writes novels on the side can depict police procedure and what goes on in the department realistically. Someone who has to research it second-hand might be able to as well, but will still be missing the life experiences that the actual officer would have. Same with any other profession. A writer who has primarily worked as a professional writer can also do this, but it results in Most Writers Are Writers. (Ever wonder why so many characters in fiction are authors, screenwriters, or journalists? That's why.) See also Write Who You Know, for when writers grab from their circle of family and acquaintances to create their characters. Can also pop up in Written for My Kids, where an author writes a work specifically with their own child or children in mind. Note: This is NOT just about people who write about their current interest or hobby, but instead is about whether or not the interest or hobby is depicted very realistically because the author does it for a living or grows up around it, etc. If it is, then it's Write What You Know. If it isn't depicted realistically, then they're no different from any other author. For when the author writes about something because it speaks to them, regardless of how much they know about it, see Author Appeal. As this trope is often also used (and misused) as a piece of writing advice, it should perhaps be noted that Tropes Are Tools, and that Writing What You Know is not an ironclad rule which automatically guarantees that you will produce superior work over someone lacking that experience. Having first-hand experience of what you're writing about may give you an advantage over someone who does not have the same experience when it comes to research and life experience, but that doesn't automatically mean that you will also possess superior writing skills. Nor does it mean that someone who must rely on second-hand research instead of life experience cannot effectively write a story set in a world that they are unfamiliar with. Finally, it doesn't mean that someone cannot convincingly write, say, a Science Fiction or Fantasy story set in other worlds involving creatures and experiences that are a bit thin on the ground. The idea is that a writer can draw on their own personal experiences to inform their story and give it life and verisimilitude, not that the writer can only write about things that they have direct personal first-hand experience of. This said, as the page quote suggests, if you don't know about something you intend to write about it's usually a good idea to find out more about it somehow, if only to make sure you avoid any glaring errors. Compare I Should Write a Book About This, when a character in-story realizes that their experiences might make a good book. Author Avatar is when a writer goes the whole way and writes about a thinly fictionalized version of themselves.

Write What You Know / int_1d3bb251	comment	The sense of anxious dread and the intense physical and emotional distress that comes from it in Trilby's Notes is so compelling and accurate because the game's creator, Yahtzee, suffers heavily from anxiety himself. He's made several comments to the effect of how anxiety and the resulting effect on fear affect him. It also explains Trilby's convincing social confidence tactics; Yahtzee himself does something very similar in social events by keeping people at a comfortable distance with his public persona, reserving more of his self-described neurotic behavior for private spaces with friends, or sometimes letting it slip through when interacting with Gabe on Let's Drown Out.

Write What You Know / int_348d72d1	comment	Tom King used to be a counter-terrorism officer in the CIA, and a lot of his works feature terrorists or espionage. His run on Omega Men re-imagined the team as a group of rebels/terrorists and had political commentary on America's involvement in the War in the Middle East, Sheriff of Babylon is about a sheriff in the Middle East and is also hugely based on King's own experiences, and Strange Adventures (2020) imagines Adam Strange as having retired from superheroics but dealing with the fallout of his controversial past, mirroring the heat King got when he retired to become a writer. Amusingly enough, he was brought on to Grayson partly so he could add authenticity to the spy antics, but King went out of his way to eschew the realism in favor of sillier, pulpy sci-fi antics Ã la Nick Fury and James Bond because it was a lot more fun to write.

The protagonists of the film are two sisters whereas he's one of four boys. He felt like it would have been too similar to his own childhood if Satsuki and Mei were boys and kept it to two siblings to save time. His mother had tuberculosis from the time she was very young until she was cured with antibiotics in the mid-1950s and was in and out of the hospital for a good chunk of his and his brothers' childhoods. It's implied but never outright stated that this is also what Mrs. Kusakabe has. Like Mrs. Miyazaki, she survives and gets to come home to her kids.

Write What You Know / int_468bebb0	comment	A lot of Discworld's magic seems akin to theoretical physics. Pratchett also wrote extensively on how prolonged exposure to magic can affect a place or person, the general lesson being that the price of magic is usually never as small as it seems. A lot of this made sense when you realize he used to work as a Press Officer to three nuclear power plants, around the time of the Three Mile Island incident.

Alan Moore based this arc on one of his own cousins who went through a similar experience with her husband, and many of the specific details of Liz's plight (wearing sewn-up towels instead of proper new underwear, never immersing herself in a bath for fear of drowning, never plugging in the TV for fear of electrocution) are almost exactly the same as those of the cousin.

The ghost of Barbara appearing to Myra Rutledge is based on the author's claim that her house has a ghost in it. Fern Michaels is not the author's real name, it was taken from an imaginary friend she had as a child. The book Final Justice has a character named Marble Rose explain that she took that name from an imaginary friend she had as a child. The author is a Southern woman and she's not afraid to use that knowledge in this series!

Write What You Know / int_9f1766e4	comment	The Brady Bunch: Robert Reed would have likely disagreed many times, but in Sherwood and Lloyd Schwartz's autobiography (and in various other retrospectives of the show as well), they came up with many plotlines for episodes of the iconic show from their own experiences. Two examples: "Eenie, Meenie, Mommy, Daddy" — Sherwood's daughter, then 10-year-old Hope, had a classmate who was upset that the school was limiting admission to one parent to a school presentation (due to the school's small auditorium), because he wanted to invite both his mother and new stepfather, together. When he was developing the series' first Season 1 scripts, Sherwood recalled the incident and gave the problem to Cindy. "The Slumber Caper" — When he was in elementary school, Sherwood scrawled scribblings on a piece of paper and called it "George Washington." A classmate got ahold of the drawing and wrote the name of a teacher he didn't like (along with a very inappropriate remark). Not long thereafter, said teacher saw it ... and yelled at young Sherwood and punished him, despite Sherwood insisting his innocence in that he did not write the remark. The situation was used to frame the episode's initial conflict of Marcia being blamed for insulting a teacher.

Write What You Know / int_b0028436	comment	Rohan Kishibe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fame (based partially on author Hirohiko Araki) is a manga-ka that embraces this philosophy as part of his author abilities, believing that "researching reality" helps improve his stories greatly. Unfortunately, he tends to take this to freakish extremes such as torturing and killing a spider to see how it reacts to pain, then licking its corpse just to see how it tastes. His Stand, Heaven's Door, can read minds as well, so he uses it to get more inspiration for his manga as well. Whether or not the participant is willing. Hirohiko Araki himself also subscribes to this idea, hence why many parts of the manga feature in-depth explanations of various international cultures (up to and including Part 3 including a guide on how to barter for cheaply-priced kebab meals).

In addition to that season occasionally referencing things that only locals of the region would know about, Tulip being an aspiring programmer comes from Dennis' own interest in the subject. All of the school stories that season two deuteragonist Jesse talks about are direct retellings of things that happened to the writers in their school lives, from schoolmates comparing shavings at the end of class to being forced to do the Butterfly stroke in the swim team because no one else knew how. Season four protagonists Ryan and Min-Gi are from the fictional town of Lake Powell, based on the real-life town of Powell River, British Columbia, where storyboard artist Ryan Pequin grew up, with extra research being done to make sure that the fictional town's appearance mirrored that of his hometown during the 1980s.

Write What You Know / int_b96564e6	comment	Famously, the British comedy Fawlty Towers and the main character who lends the show its name were based on John Cleese and the Monty Python crew's... "colourful" experience staying at the Gleneagles Hotel in Torquay, Devon, England. The proprietor at the time, Donald Sinclair, was a retired naval officer and also happened to be completely rude and completely out of his mind. Mr. Sinclair's irascible antics included: loudly berating Terry Gilliam for his "American" table etiquette, throwing Eric Idle's briefcase over the garden wall because he suspected it contained a bomb, expressing disbelief that Michael Palin had pre-booked the TV to catch a show, and starting a loud argument in the reception with Cleese when he requested a taxi. After his wife Beatrice complained to the papers about how the show exaggerated her husband's eccentricities, several witnesses (including Sinclair's own children) came forward and shared their own stories, which suggested that, if anything, Cleese had actually downplayed how crazy the man was. Let that sink in.

Write What You Know / int_dfafaa10	comment	The Railway Series author Rev. Awdry was always a Rail Enthusiast and tried to keep his stories of talking trains grounded. But his discovery on a family vacation of the recently preserved Talyllyn Railway gave him new hands-on experience, as he soon rushed to return to the railway as a volunteer guard (his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson would all also volunteer there with time). He created a group of expy characters for the Talyllyn known as the "Skarloey Railway" and wholesale adapted events of real Talyllyn history for his book series, including an incident where on guard duty he caused a train to depart early and abandon the railway's "Refreshment Lady" on the platform. The Skarloey stories proved to be an impressive Shown Their Work addition to the Railway Series canon.

In fact, after Kim's mother read the book, she called her to apologize because she recognized herself in Young. Also, Kim took her son to HBOT when he was four for neurological deafness in one ear and gastrointestinal problems that turned out to be caused by celiac disease; the chamber they used was a submarine-like tank painted aquamarine, just like the one in the book.

The only difference is that the murderer placed themselves in the role of the victim, and in the movie, they of course survived.

The trio collaborated on giving input to her character on the series. Real quotes were even used from Antonia Gentry's life for things that people say to Ginny. The much-criticized "Oppression Olympics" exchange Ginny and Hunter have is another example. Gentry and Mason Temple (Hunter) largely wrote each other's dialogue as well, based on actual things people have told them.

Write What You Know / int_fa84aed1	comment	The Witches: The hero's parents die at the beginning of the story, leaving him to be brought up by his grandmother, with the parents' wish that he is educated in England. Roald Dahl's own father died when Dahl was young, with the wish that he was educated in England, saying that English schools are the best in the world. The idea of witches wearing wigs to hide their baldness, and having no toes may have been inspired by two of Dahl's fellow passengers on his two-week sea voyage to Africa, as described in his autobiography Going Solo: the elderly Miss Trefuis hated the sight of toes so much that she could not bear to cut her own toenails, and she made all the native boys on her farm wear shoes. Dahl's cabin companion U. N. Savory went to great lengths to hide his baldness, wearing wigs of different lengths every week, and sprinkling Epsom Salts on his shoulders to make out he had dandruff. The grandmother lovingly describes summer holidays in Norway, which were a staple of Dahl's own childhood.

His words help Joe to be Genre Savvy and solve the mystery, linking the current rash of strange events (the store is seemingly being burglarized, but the "thief" is actually leaving rare books for the owner to find, sell and profit off of) with the events of the book The Haunted Bookshop (in which the same book keeps getting stolen from and returned to a store), which Joe is currently reading.

Dipper's (nick)name and birthmark were inspired by Hirsch's childhood classmate having acne shaped like the Big Dipper. Soos is based on a friend and classmate from CalArts, Jesus Chambrot, who had a similar personality. The episode "Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons" was based on Hirsch attending a Dungeons & Dragons game with Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward and Over the Garden Wall creator Patrick McHale during the trio's time on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack.
