http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/1999 It's been said that you should write about what you know. It's also been said that doing that condemns you to a life of boredom as you'll never grow beyond your current limitations.Not very helpful, is it?It's also been said that you should write about what you're passionate about, interested in or otherwise taken by, as you'll spend so much time researching it, writing it and rewriting it, that it had better light your fire, or it will drive you insane.
