Here's another informative entry in our Advice for Novelists series. I've asked authors, agents, editors and publicists their response to the question:"If you could say one thing to aspiring novelists, what would you say?"
Write from a place of personal experience and passion, and even from an area of pain. Your story will stand out over a story you can’t relate to.

I love this advice and I am doing this on my most recent book. Its hard and I even have nightmares because so much is brought back like reawakened memories I spent a lifetime to foget but I feel the book is richer because of it. Thanks.
Is that why all my stories seem to weave themselves back to my life in some small way?
