Goodreads asked Joseph Legaspi:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Joseph Legaspi We all have tons of mysteries in own lives, but I think the mysteries from those we know could make for the best book plots. We may never be able to solve them, but in the process of writing, we may see how they affected us and how we can better deal with them. For example, has someone in your life left you without explaining why? If so, the experience may have left you with self-doubt or loneliness. Writing about them can be cathartic and could lead to insights you may never have considered.
