Home is not where you were born; home is where all your attempts to escape cease.
Events at home, at work, in the street - these are the bases for a story.
When you spend time with your friends, what do you talk about? Those things which made an impression on you that day, that week ... I write stories the same way. Events at home, in school, at work, in the street, these are the bases for a story. Some experiences leave such a deep impression that instead of talking about them at the club I work them into a novel.
