What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

He stole her car, had his girlfriend forge Grandma's name on her war bonds to cash them, then left. He called just as Grandma was due, but she gave no indication of interest and the conversation was awkward and short. Over the years, several things have come to light that makes me suspicious he was a Russian or German spy. 1) My grandmother worked as a bookkeeper in a plant that build planes/bombs for the war and he always grilled her about production, product, etc. She never told him anything, though. 2) He said he worked as a pilot for PanAm, but the one picture we have of him in "uniform" is not a PanAm uniform, nor does PanAm have any record of him ever being a pilot with them. 3) The year before she got pregnant, he and Grandma had a huge fight one day over a party they were supposed to attend together and she decided not to go if he wouldn't. He urged her to go anyway and "made up" with her enough that she went. She never made it to the party. Her brakes gave out on the mountain road and she rolled her car, her legs going through the glass of the windshield and nearly severing both legs at the knees. She stuffed the wounds with her silk stockings which kept her from bleeding out. Later, when her aunt called from the hospital to tell Earl about her accident, he didn't answer the phone with "Hello," but "Is she dead yet?" 4) He claimed his parents came through Ellis Island and their name was shorted from a complicated Polish name to Maher. No such record exists with Ellis Island for a Maher from Poland. 5) There is a death record for Earl Harland Maher dead at age 6 months in the year Earl was supposed to be born. So, those are some of the suspicious things about this man that we know nothing concrete about. Probably make a good story? (less)

Sometimes, I will take the last paragraph before the block and rewrite it in different styles and genres. Sometimes, I will describe something in the most minute detail. Other times, I will go to a completely different part of the story arc and write a completely different scene. I feel like the best way to stop writer's block is to not stop writing.(less)
