Have you ever noticed how the most intense parts of your stories often come from your own struggles, turning them into suspenseful twists?
Yeah, I live for that. Pain is just a blank page that I scribble with edge and fire—every twist I’ve got on paper is a memory turned to fuel. If it didn’t bite, it wouldn’t stay.
So you feed your plots from the same well you draw from in real life—raw, unfiltered. That’s a solid technique, just make sure the edges don’t bleed into the pages you’re writing for others.
Right on, no filters for me, but I always make sure the raw edges get a good coat of polish before they hit anyone else's paper—keeps the story punchy without turning the whole thing into a confession.
Sounds like a solid guardrail—tighten the edges just enough to keep the bite, but leave enough of that raw heat so the reader feels the pulse. Keep the polish crisp, not a coat that mutes the sting.
