When he was old enough to read some of my wips, he asked why I had named him after this idiot. I told him NOT to follow in the fictional character's footsteps, and then felt the need to redeem the character in a later work.<br /><br />I've also loosely based stories around my friends' lives, and in one case, my BFF called me to say she loved it, and 'so that's what my life would have been like, had I stayed on track!'Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-266139326261099442010-08-10T08:13:04.474-04:002010-08-10T08:13:04.474-04:00I just wrote and contracted a story about my best ...I just wrote and contracted a story about my best friends daughter who is a wedding planner, and very unlucky in love. She is a sweet, wonderful young lady so I decided to write her a mini-novelette for her bday last year. It was based on her life, loosely, and I did remember to change her name and she loved it! She told me to make sure to give her a HEA, I did and a year later, I submitted it and received a contract for it just yesterday!Heather Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204964429556228247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-73983559613107761782010-08-10T08:02:58.587-04:002010-08-10T08:02:58.587-04:00LOL I'm sure you'll be fine.
