Day 11: Begin by writing about what you know

"Begin by writing about what you know, if not the novel itself, then something about the place or people in your novel. It’s a lot easier to get started on your book if you are writing about people, places, and things with which you have already grown familiar."

I'm thinking about a man and a woman. The man is married and the woman is single. Maybe she is divorced. She got pregnant from the affair.

The man is in his early 50s. A successful career, quite plain looking, highly self-conscious, and eager to be recognized. He and his wife have 2 kids. The wife is a stay-home mom and a very traditional woman.

The woman is in her middle or late 30s. Got pregnant once at 19 but aborted. Married at 21 and divorced at 25. Lonely, impulsive, has experienced some failed relationships.

That's a start. 89 more days to go.
