real people as characters?

NO.

Original stories, original characters.

I don’t write characters based on exes or anyone else I know, their name changed or not. Nor do I base characters on celebrities.

The reason is because I’d then write that person & not a character, which would become sand in my creative process. My characters are always composites & always contain at least a little of my DNA.

This is a firm rule I made long ago.
