Writing a book to cope, basing characters off of real people... is that weird
Some backstory; I've been having a tough time lately. Right now I'm really struggling to accept that I'll never get back my teen years so I can "fix" things that I feel impact my currently state of mind. I write to cope with my feelings very often, so I was thinking I might finally get some resolution if I write a book where I can internally express my feelings to the people who've hurt me. But I'm feeling a little weird and apprehensive about basing characters off of real people I know, especially because it would be such an intimate story. Do you think this is okay? What would you do?
