"Write what you're passionate about" is pretty good advice IMO.
That's a MUCH better way of putting "write what you know." I like my job fine, but it's what I know best and I don't feel any real passion to turn it into a narrative. :)
Whoooo for 4,000 extra words! I'm very much not a fan of the "write only when you're truly inspired"--I have no problem with writers who do wait until they're truly inspired, but you can't really be surprised output is low if you do that, you know? You can wait for the muse to visit, but nearly no one is inspired often enough to get a lot of writing done. And almost every project is going to have patches that are necessary to write but are NEVER going to be inspiring.
