My novel Vehementia isn't based on a true story, but it definitely has some basis in reality. For example, the newest chapter that I'm releasing next week was actually inspired by a Youtube video I watched that discussed how reality TV like Jerry Springer and Dr. Phil exploit mental illness and trauma for profit without actually helping the people the shows were supposedly made for.
One of my novels, Road To Happiness is based off my own journey dealing with anxiety and depression. Obviously some things are made up or exaggerated, but the general idea is my own personal story.
That's what you think...other people's lives fascinate me
Ooh wa sounds cool. I will read it rn
