Don asked Kasie West:

Does anything influence you to write such realistic stories, (are they secretly based on your life)? :)

Kasie West lol Nope, not secretly based on my life. That would be a fun life if they were. :) The things that influence me are thinking about situations and how different characters would handle those situations. So most of the time I think of a plot first and try to think of the type of character that would learn the most from that plot. Sometimes places influence me. When I saw a doll store in my home town, I knew I wanted to write a story set there. Sometimes I'll be watching a movie or reading and it will inspire a thought. I guess a lot of different things influence me. That's why I force myself out of the house to live a little.
