Writer's Digest TV: Interview with David Baldacci
Posted by maria
Hi Writers,
If there's one thing I've learned from spending time with all the thriller writers at ThrillerFest 08, it's that the adage, "write what you know" holds little merit.
Here's another short Q&A I did with David Baldacci, in which he discusses the merits of writing what you don't know.
Keep Writing,
Maria

Thanks for another great interview, Maria. He sure hit the nail on the head when describing writers -- ideas constantly in your head, etc. This can play havoc at times with a good night's sleep, can't it? :)
