Writing seems to me to be the perfect autodidact 'sport' - in trying to put my words down authoritatively, I feel the need to investigate, research and absorb the facts of what I'm writing about, so that my 'voice' is authentic, trustworthy and reliable. Writing stories, whether fiction or memoir, requires fact checking, understanding, and expansion of interests. I often find myself going down a rabbit hole and veering off on tangents as I get tangled in the intricacies of delectable information! I feel as if I'm getting snagged on brambles and roots on an ungroomed path, that delay my reaching my destination, but definitely enrich the experience!
It's amazing how much one learns along the way as one writes - it generates its own quest for knowledge.
