Also, I've been thinking about the fact that I *can't* experience firsthand every possible human experience. There are some things I'll never know about no matter how old I get. I'll always be female, but does that mean I can't write from the point of view of a male? I might never lose a close friend to suicide. I might never have a limb amputated. I hopefully will never kill someone. (Those things happen to my characters.) No matter how old I get. I might never have children. I might never experience things that LOTS of people experience. Does that disqualify me from writing those things? I don't know, but I don't care. I can research, I can try to understand the experiences of others, but at the end of the day I just have to write it regardless of my doubts.
