I don't believe the old saw "Write what you know" -- I could easily make an argument for the opposite! I suggest that people write about life as they live it and as they imagine it. Don't write from the basis of a reader's experience. Use the feelings, sensations, thoughts, and images that stem from interacting with the real world.
