When real world events overtake your story plot.

[Grendelpuppy]

I had been writing a series entitled CUCKOLD COUPLES THERAPY. The back drop was a war in Ukraine that went nuclear followed by a "limited" nuclear exchange between Russia and the US. Truth is now becoming almost as scary as my fiction. Any other authors have this problem?

The fiction part is "limited exchange." If the US took a nuke it would be game over for the world.

Yes! (Of sorts)

I wrote out a story one time, basing it on as a realistic scenario as I could based upon war events from 100 years ago.

AFTER I wrote the story, I found out, almost everything that I wrote really happened in real life. It was crazy, but also fortified that I could envision very realistic situations in my stories. It gave me a lot of confidence.

The difference between truth and fiction is that fiction has to be plausible.
