The Year She Changed

"Write about what you know. Write about the people you've met, the things you've seen, the ones you loved. Don't write about the wars out there," Mr. Marcelli points to the window, "Write about the wars in here," he points to his heart, "Or in here," his eyes meet mine as he lifts his index finger to his brain, "Write about the things that scare you, the ones that hurt you, the things you want to forget, write about it all. 'No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.' another genius quote by Robert Frost so let me say it once more people, write about what you know."
