life experiences – The Other Side of Goodbye

Every time I come up with a new idea for a book, it is always based upon a life lesson or a life experience. I also like to incorporate real things and places that I have experienced to help tell the story. In addition, I love to incorporate real people into fictional characters but embellish the character in order to create an engaging story. When I read fiction, to me, it always seems as if fiction is based on truth. I believe that many times it is, and people find ways to share viewpoints of life experiences by mixing up characters, places and dialogue. It is great fun and a superb outlet for inner creativity.

Check out this ad by Hermes Paris. I love to look at this photo as it is a perfect example of advertising depicting more than one thing for more than one purpose. Brilliant creativity! For me, this is great inspiration. 🙂

Stay tuned for the prequel, The Other Side of Hello. Here you will, yet again, immerse yourself into the world of Claire, and another intriguing character. You learned about her entangled life in The Other Side of Goodbye, and this book will give you the other side of Claire! I look forward to the day when I can bring this story to you soon…

When they say fiction is based upon reality, no kidding! Every experience I am a part of, every conversation I have, every real story I hear about, is food for thought, turned ‘life for thought.’ It’s what makes life so interesting. You can take that perception and turn it into a story, embellish it and make it interesting movie stuff. It becomes visual and real and others can relate. You can even take a real-life bad situation and turn it into something for readers to relate to and learn from – and that is my favorite part about writing because it’s all ‘what ifs.’ It’s all really based upon factual situations. We writers just embellish them.
