LWW24: What Stories from Our Real Lives We Have Used in Our Fiction
It's August already. How did that happen? This week, TB is delighted with Clare's description of her. She's always wanted to be jazzy, and now she is! She tells us all about her weekend in New York City at the Romance Writers of America conference. TB's verdict: she picked up some golden tips. Once she's deciphered her notes, she's going to share on a later episode. She also went to see the Red Sox, and they lost. Sad times.
As well as launching her latest book, A Taste of Love, Clare has been busy speaking at Happy Valley Pride in Yorkshire. She waxes lyrical about the brilliant lineup of authors and the audience, and would go back in a flash. Clare and TB make a date for the RWA Conference in Nashville, 2021. They like to be organized.
Then it's onto this week's big topic: what stories from their real lives have the duo included in their novels? TB's real-life stories include allergic reactions that landed her in the ER, losing her sight, a comedy dog's name, and an acid trip. You'll never look at a gummy bear in the same light once you've listened to this.
Clare's real-life stories feature a couple of comedy dates, along with the first funeral of a friend. Plus, she tells of all the locations and jobs she's had or visited in real life that have made it into her books. The conclusion is: authors include snippets of their real lives throughout all of their books, but they are invariably twisted or changed to suit the characters and the story. So be careful what you say to an author, because you really might end up in the pages of their next novel!
