Do you think that we should only write ( and create art ) about things that we experience our selves, that we see and here with our own eyes and ears ? And not what we see on the internet, TV, news etc.
my approach is to just create things i'm passionate about. it's easier to write about things i've seen or experienced, but i also love making up things as i go. i don't think it matters much as long as you have fun while creating stuff you love :)
