I cross the streams. Gently. A recent piece I’ve written has a lot of reality worked in to it. Memories, events, people.

I have not used much of my real life in any recognizable fashion in most if my writing. The geography of lost gods is based on where I lived for awhile, but people are usually off limits. Usually.

Well, you know my viewpoint on this. We discussed this earlier. I know you’ll find the right balance without compromising your creativity or hurting people. You’re a smart cookie.
