Do I ever use real life experiences for my books?
This is a question a lot of people ask me. Do I use my life for my books. The answer is of course! Now in saying that, I want to be sure that I use MY life, not someone else's, nor do I ever libel anyone in print. I may use a personality trait or a funny way of looking at the world, or perhaps even a way of saying things, but I will never drag a person of my acquaintance into the mud. I do have funny things that happen to me that make great fodder for stories, but things that happen to other people are for other people to tell, not me.
The other side to this question I get a lot is for people who want me to write a story idea they have. I love it that people want to share these ideas. However, I have so many ideas of my own, so many subjects that are near and dear to my heart, so many messages and themes I want to explore, I could never do your story justice. I am not as passionate about your story as you are. You must write that story!
