I can tell you a true horror story by recounting the fires that swept through Malibu, California last November. When we evacuated our house, for what turned out to be a three-week period of dislocation, there were airborne ashes falling everywhere and literally, a wall of raging fire coming down the mountain in our back yard headed for our house!

Claire Fullerton:
Hi Claire. I'm asking this question of several writers, some friends, some strangers... When you take bits of your own memory or real-life experience and insert them into a story, how do you transfer ownership from yourself to the story? Or do you distance yourself at all? Do you prefer to directly *confess* and let the autobiographical bits stand, emotionally hot? How do you deal with this kind of material? Thanks.
