Goodreads asked Stephen B. Pearl:

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

Stephen B. Pearl There are so many. Long lost friends, what would their return bring to your life? Why did they vanish? Health issues, why are they there, have I been experimented on by government/aliens. Given that the US government tested germ warfare agents in the Toronto subway system with the approval of the Canadian government this isn’t as far-fetched as it seems.
Where are my blooming bolt cutters, did a stalker break in a ‘borrow’ them. I have some heavy gauge steel to cut and I can’t find them. It’s life.
Life is resplendent with plotlines you just have to look at things a little sideways. Being a little paranoid helps, but also believing that the universe is far more vast and involved than we will ever comprehend opens things up for plotting quite a bit.
The key is to have the gem of reality that the more extreme ideas anchor too.
