Yes, I do draw upon my life, or my perception of events (I didn’t mean to imply that I don’t). My experiences are critical for writing because they serve as the bridge to understanding similar experiences.

I’ve no desire to relive my childhood, but I use it in creative ways. I had terrible parents, and used to imagine wonderful parents. It’s those imagined parents that Riparia loses when she’s six.

Those imagined parents were based on adults I met as a child.
