I hope you can find your way through your perfect storm and uncover your voice again. As to your questions about truths in fiction, as a writer of historical fiction, I get told “this would never happen,” or “no one talks like that” all the time. :-)

As a fellow writer whose own life has devolved into an absolutely unbelievable farce, I hear you!
