User blog:Blacknumber1/Personal Pastas

When I write pastas, 90% of the time I take experiences from my own life and sort of jumble them together. The story I'm currently near completing, I added a lot and I do mean a lot of personal parts from my life, such as losing my Daughter a few years ago.

My question is, does anyone else here write personal aspects from thier own lives into their pastas? I've found when I do this, the characters are more real. That's the most common compliment I get from my writing. Anyone else?
