: Re: Is it ok to be autobiographical with a main character? This question really comes down to a personal issue I've had present in my fiction. I'm still very new as far as being a writer is

In my own fiction, I'm "autobiographical" with ONE of the main characters. That's the best way for me to keep track of everything that's going on.

Sometimes, my character is the protagonist, and he speaks for me.

Sometimes my character is the antagonist, with the protagonist being my "date." (Trying to see yourself through the eyes of your dates is quite an exercise in and of itself.)

And in one case, I'm the heroine's grandfather, not exactly a "main" character, but close enough to "know" (and shape) my character.
