I always thought "write what you know" meant if you have an interesting life story consider making it into a fictional story. If you have a unique POV, use it to think of stories. I never took it as ONLY write what you know vs making crap up -- because most of it is going to be made up even if some is true. I think most writers put themselves in their work, maybe only a little bit, but we are there.
Funny one of my ideas on the list was WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW about a writer who lived a boring ass life so he hires someone else to do exciting things so he can write about them and things go well until that person does something crazy like kill someone or kidnap them.
