/lit/ - Literature

It seems like I can only write about myself. Every idea I have is basically about my life in some way. The narrator is always a part of me and the plot is pretty much always something that happened to me, characters are people I know, etc.
I'm sure this isn't a completely bad thing, but I'd like to branch out and be able to write about things that are not me, while still pertaining to myself. Any advice on how to get away from autobiographical writing?
