Notes.
Several of the things I’m working on right now are based on stories directly pulled from my life (mostly the awkward period of my life from age 1-25). Perhaps my favorite part of the development process is getting notes back from people that are direct accusations about my behavior in the stories. “Why would a person do this? Is this believable? Why would someone steal three cats from some random person’s house just to tie notes around their necks and release them into her ex boyfriends living room? It just.. I don’t know… I mean— Would someone do that? Why…why would someone do that?”
It honestly made a lot of sense at the time.
