I tend to save up "funny incidents" (often funny mishaps) and use them in books when the right moment comes along ... sometimes they kick around for years before that right moment comes along. R.

I've use the names of my ex-husband and ex-boyfriends as the villains. Also, the names of the mean girls who made my life hell in high school. Your story sounds great!Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.com
