Hello Friends and welcome to our new Monday series – Writer Q & A with Susie May (okay, I thought the rhyme was fun, I admit it). But this year I’m answering the hundreds of questions we get every year at MBT – trying to help you figure out this writing journey.

This week’s question is:

Should I write a story based on real life…or should I make it up?  Great question, and we talk about the difference of Memoirs and Novels in this short video. Hope you enjoy it -and should you have any questions about the writing life, email them to:  info@mybooktherapy.com! We’ll do our best to answer them.

Would you prefer to listen to this on your MP3? Here you go!

Have a great writing week!
