Wow, so much of your article feels like you are inside my own head. I love your line "Our brains take everything ... and stir together to create a new story. " It's very comforting to be reminded that I am not the only writer figuring out how to mesh true life with fiction.
One of the issues for my first draft of Electric Fantasy Land is that my small critique group would like a stronger conflict, introduced earlier, with less subtle humor. It appears that I have been writing a bildungsroman genre (I only recently learned about this) in which the protagonist learns and grows emotionally during the novel. Oh, well. I'll keep doing what feels right to me. If it doesn't work out, I will have enjoyed the lesson.
Hi Eva! Nice article. I followed a couple of links. One thing most tickled my curiosity.... In the draft of your autobiographical novel... What was the line you lifted from your diary? 🤔🤔😁
