“A writer’s life is an experiment in biography”

Simplified Meaning:
Living as a writer means constantly learning and discovering different aspects of life and people. Writers often draw from their own experiences and the experiences of others to create their stories. For example, if a writer meets someone interesting or goes through a big event, they might use those details in a book. Just like scientists experiment to learn new things, writers explore life's events and people to make their stories more real and relatable. By doing this, they understand more about human behavior, emotions, and relationships, which they can then share with their readers. In short, writers use their lives and others' lives as a way to understand and communicate what it means to be human.
