Which authors incorporate friends into their stories?

Well, you could start by asking them for permission and then picking out the key elements or themes that resonate with you.

Authors can do it by taking inspiration from the themes and characters of old literature and giving them a modern twist. For example, using the idea of a classic hero but placing them in a contemporary setting.

In my opinion, authors can include politics if it's relevant to the plot and characters. But it should enhance the narrative, not overshadow it. Sometimes, it can make the novel more thought-provoking and timely.

It varies. In some genres, like speculative fiction, politics can be used to explore future or alternate societies. But in a light - hearted adventure novel, politics may not fit well. An author has to consider the target audience. If the audience is interested in political analysis, then it could work. But if they are looking for simple entertainment, too much politics might be a turn - off.

Books like 'The Storm' by Virginia Bergin and 'Floodland' by Marcus Sedgwick incorporate flood stories. 'The Storm' focuses on the survival of characters during a flood, while 'Floodland' creates a post-apocalyptic world due to a massive flood.

First, figure out the main theme or message you want to convey through the story. Then, focus on highlighting the personalities and interactions of the close friends. Maybe describe a time when their friendship was tested and strengthened.

Authors often use cartoons to add visual appeal and make the content more engaging for the readers. They might include them to illustrate key points or tell a story in a more vivid way.

Stephen King is one such writer. His works often feature elements of the supernatural, including ghosts.

You can start by identifying the key elements or themes of your friends' story that resonate with yours. Then, find a way to blend them smoothly.

Well, one way is to take the main idea or lesson from your friends' story and have a character in your story experience something similar. Or, you could have a character mention the friends' story as a form of inspiration or caution. Just make sure it fits smoothly and doesn't feel forced.
