Some writers can only deal with childhood experience, because it's complete. For another kind of writer, life goes on, and he's able to keep processing that as well.

Summary

This quote suggests that there are two types of writers when it comes to mining their life experiences for creative material. The first type is limited to drawing inspiration from their childhood since it is a closed chapter in their lives and they can reflect upon it in its entirety. However, there is another kind of writer who can continue to process and derive insights from ongoing life experiences. This writer's ability to constantly engage with and make sense of life's evolving complexities allows for a broader range of storytelling possibilities beyond childhood narratives.
