I was wondering how much of this book like you would connect to your own experience of how much is just from knowing people in these situations and just going off of that and come up with their own back stories of . You know, like when im writing sometimes i feel like its as though im standing in a field of kind of kneehigh dry grass. And im trying to my up to clemson ahead and im trying to make a fire. So i am banging this was to get as hard as i can. To flints represent, they are always a real inexpensive mic on something that has happened to me. From those im striking together and trying to make sports. And when i get it right in right in windows works forms will find a light that field on fire.
