It's actually easier to do autobiographical stories. The story is already there. It's a matter of carving away what doesn't fit rather than building up from nothing.

In a sense, any story that anyone writes is going to be autobiographical - whether it deals directly with the author's experience or not - because it captures what we're obsessed with while working on that particular piece.
There's always going to be a little bit of autobiographical content to everything. It's how you lend some authority to what you write - you give it that weight by drawing on your direct experiences and indirect experiences from people that you know well, or a little.
Few writers are willing to admit writing is autobiographical.
It is so common to write autobiographical fiction in which your own experience is thinly disguised.
I very much dislike writing about myself or my work, and when pressed for autobiographical material can only give a bare chronological outline which contains no pertinent facts.
The autobiographical doesn't interest me. I could think of few things less interesting than rooting about in my life.
Autobiographical fiction is very tricky.
If you write a story based on a real person, you're trapped by the details of the real person and his life. It gets in the way of writing your own story.
I don't think there's such a thing as autobiographical fiction. If I say it happened, it happened, even if only in my mind.
The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.
