Well luckily I don't really have any mysteries or unanswered questions in my life! Ha ! My life is an open book. But I do use incidents from my life in my books but I twist and tweak them a bit. I refer to my work as biographical fiction. Often an incident from my past gives rise to an idea. Check out my website - pattiproauthor.com and read my Christmas story - "Corduroy Christmas". The inspiration for that story was a rather hideous corduroy suit but the rest of the story is complete fiction.

I don’t hVe writer’s block. My head is full of ideas! Too many at times. I have issues with making myself sit down and work. It can be exhausting.

Join a local writing group. Find a group of people who can advise you. Even better join a critique group and get lots of feedback. Your family will always say good things. You need to hear from other writers.

I’m working on another contemporary women’s fiction novel. When I’m done with that I plan to write a sequel to “Please…Tell Me More”.

I’ve always wanted to write. I just didn’t have the time until I retired.

My life experiences and my family supplies with ideas. Though I want to be clear that I’m not writing a memoir. I take real events and twist and tweak them. I’m looking for the core emotions.
