Work stunk; your boss could care less about your ideas. Traffic jammed, and you had somewhere important to be. Maybe you didn't do so well on that test, though you knew an "A" was in your future...
Yep, those moments that are oh-so-often a part of life. And sometimes?
Well, sometimes, you need to ditch reality for awhile, N'Sync style.
Everyone has different methods of escaping. My personal favorite is ice cream and a movie. Or a bag a of chips and a good book. Okay, okay. Just junk food in general.
But as writers, we have one of the awesome, "suck it, you jerk!" escapes.
Annoying people in your life? That one event from high school you can't get over? Weave it into your story! This is where writers get to use the following disclaimer:
"This is a work of fiction. All characters in this novel are fictitious. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."Read that? Entirely coincidental. Run with it.
Just don't choke on your maniacal laughter. ;)
