I don't know - that's the truth of it. I write whatever comes into my head. At the moment, Ash is narrating her story and I seem fortunate that 'people' like to 'tell' me their stories.
Sometimes it almost feels like cheating, you know? It's not 'work', but it is sometimes difficult.
Of course some of the situations are close to my own personal experiences, but the lines do get blurred...
