So <i>there's</i> my long-lost twin! Nice t'meetcha, finally. ;) <br />

We have the same parents. are close facsimilies thereof. I think I've broken them in with this book, though. My dad still won't read it but then, I'd just as soon he didn't. (Oh, he'll probably read it later but not tell me.) <br />
<br />
I force myself to go to the truth of the story, character-wise, no matter how awkward that may end up being for me, personally, if that's what the story needs and the character would do.

Glad you convinced her, David. Good thing she didn't find any lipstick on your collar. ;) <br />
<br />
Seriously, that's it. Being honest. Exactly.

Once, early on, a protagonist was speaking to his wife about being faithful for twelve years and she reminded him they'd been married for fifteen. <br />
<br />
My wife read that passage and for a few days it was a little chilly in the house. She had counted backwards to a time in our own marriage that was rocky and she suspected I was writing from life, not my imagination. Fortunately, I convinced her it was fiction. <br />
<br />
I try to be honest and if that means writing naked, then somebody pull the blinds.

I guess I figure if I mine other people's lives, it's only fair for me to mine my own. Sometimes I write about actual things that I have experienced (though less often, only because it's hard to achieve distance enough to be creative). More often, I write about things intrinsic to me. Like one character in my novel was very sheltered as a child - I was too.<br />

Incidentally, most of my "graphic" scenes or stories are based on my worst fears. So that's one way of putting myself out there without…
