Do you use your own life experiences in your writing?
In my book, Rebecca is writing a journal of sorts, taking the reader through what happened when she set out to become a romance novelist.
I have heard other writers say that you should always write about the things that are happening to you.
Do you agree?
I must admit that my own life is nowhere near as chaotic as Rebecca's life in the book, and that I think I'm a much happier and grounded person than she is. Yet, in some sense, I did use her to portray certain parts of myself.
She longs to feel more secure about herself as a writer, and she too decides to dip her toe in the water and publish her book anonymously.
Have you ever written a story that was based upon issues you were actually dealing with? If so, did you learn anything from the experience? Did it bring a vibrant sense of reality to the narrative?
I think it's definitely something worth thinking about...
I'd love it if you stopped by and checked out my book. Rebecca's story might win you over...
