Recently, I injured my tailbone in a boating accident. Having to explain this to my chiropractor was somewhat awkwad. Even more awkward was her description of how she could "manually adjust it from inside" if it was indeed broken or dislodged. After I stopped freaking out, I realized this would be a hilarious premise for a Lit story. So, what weird ass real life situations have inspired plot bunnies for you????
 
With two exceptions which I won't mention, NONE. I do take pieces of the real me and plug them in - settings, people and so on. But the plots all come from my sick mind.
 
I started posting a series of "Memory Of" stories that were all true. The first was inspired by a thread here in the AH. I've got several more that I need to post. Thanks for reminding me.
 
A farmer I know went to the barn to milk Bessie. And as he set about milking her she swatted him with her tail several times. Thereupon he placed a crate behind her, stood upon it, and was tying her tail to an overhead rafter when his when walked in the barn and saw him behind the cow with her tailed raised high.

I wrote eight real life true stories but never posted them. The stories and characters were too recognizeable and I couldn't disguise them without changing the stories.

For example, I once ran naked through a busy neighborhood. How do you change that?

You walked clothed through a nudest camp :D

That sounds cool. I've considered that too, but most of the things that happen to me end up sounding preposterous. :rolleyes:
 
LOL, well, in my defense, I had been shot at and was being chased by an irate ex with a gun. I started out wearing a Bouleva watch and a Fourex skin. The condom fell off in somebody's yard.
*falls over laughing* Well, at least you got out with the watch. :D
 
Unorthodox Exercise was inspired by falling down the stairs and breaking my wrist or more psecifically by the physio therapy I had to do after the accident. My physio guy wasn't my cup of tea but as I sat waiting I thought of how sexual it *could* be and wrote the story. Real life inspiration rocks.

Nice! So, you were really writing the story one-handed then? And not in a sexy way! :D

LOL...way too much information...though I do wonder who found it and how it was explained away....that could be an interesting story;)

Ha, actually, the story was written once I could type properly again, I found it almost impossible to type one handed. I broke my left wrist and I'm left handed. It wasn't fun.
 
Losing the bottom half of a borrowed bikini at a waterslide is the basis of one of my stories, "Adventures at the Waterslide". "Foxfire, a Chainsaw and a Pig" is a true accounting of a summer weekend.
