Have you ever written anything that really relates to your life?

What author doesn't? Oftentimes, a character or an event can be linked to the author's life. A character can be based off of someone the author knows or the character can possess traits in their personality that relate to the author and events in a novel can be loosely based off of an event the author has experienced his/herself.

I wrote an entry for a contest based off what happened after my grandpa's passing. Honestly, a lot of things about my life inspire me to write. I once saw my dad shoot some snot rockets off our front porch, and I had an idea for a story. Of course, I was like Noooooooooo! Why do you do this to me?! So, basically most of the stuff I write is inspired by real life.

I often get told my readers find out a lot about my anxieties, sometimes to an uncomfortable degree.

I write a lot about the things I've been through and the things I'm passionate about. I use my storytelling to vent, to let myself release what I am feeling. I do the same with my art.
I often don't get the chance to speak about what's on my mind. I also believe that God gave the gift of writing and drawing to honor Him and show others His love and to share the Gospel.
So...yeah, I write a lot about things that relate to my life. And honestly, I think that's part of what makes a story yours. It has part of you in it. I put my heart and soul into creating what is my masterpieces.
