Of course you bank on your experience, but as a sounding board. It isn't that you write down what happens to you every day. You wouldn't be a writer if you did that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do write a lot from personal experience, but I also embellish a bit.
I write with experiences in mind, but I don't write about them, I write out of them.
Really, as a writer, I believe that if you're going to write about your own life, you need to do it as honestly and candidly as you are capable.
My writing is authentic, and whatever happens in my life is what I write about.
I only write about what I do, what happens to me.
I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.
I write about my life and my own experience, but I also write about things that I have no knowledge of whatsoever.
Other people are talking about writing books about my life, or about some of the things I've done. I find it strange, but I also feel it's my life and my story, and I guess I better be the one to get it on paper the way it actually happened.
Since I quit banking, all my major life decisions, when they could, have revolved around writing.
All experience helps when you write.
