(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/sawpub/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114One of my most frequently asked questions as a writer is: \u201cHow much of your writing comes from real life?\u201d<\/p>\n
And the answer, boiled down to a nutshell, is: It depends.<\/p>\n
It depends on the story, it depends on the characters, and maybe most importantly, it depends on what you mean by the question.<\/p>\n
When people ask me if my stories come from real life, they don\u2019t always mean the same thing.<\/p>\n
Some of them are asking, \u201cAre there real life incidents in your stories?\u201d Others wonder if the whole narrative is a veiled autobiography (and I think a lot of them are secretly hoping it is). And still others want to know how I can write authentically about deep struggles and experiences that perhaps I\u2019ve never personally known.<\/p>\n
And for each of those questions, there\u2019s a slightly different answer.<\/p>\n
Plain and simple: yes. Yes, there are. They aren\u2019t on every page, or even in every book, and many of them are the small and meaningless details that just give a little pop of colour to the story, but yes, they\u2019re most certainly there.<\/p>\n
