The Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings State Historic Park is located about 20 minutes from my home, near Gainesville. She was a transplanted Floridian who wrote the Pulitzer Prize winning The Yearling, as well as an account of her life in North Florida, called Cross Creek. In 1983, a biopic was made about her life, called - naturally - Cross Creek. Write what you know, write what you love was the moral of her story in the movie. It's odd how simple a concept I have to keep reminding myself of when I consider what to choose for a subject.
