You know, Steven, I think I've been doing that for years now and just never knew that there was existing terminology associated with it. So thank you for introducing me to the right verbage!

I write about what I know and what I've had the most experience in, which is home building... and at any given time and place in this country and all over the world, there are hundreds of absolutely mind blowing stories of confrontations, deceit, physical harm and other equally crazy things going on at once.

And because I "fictionalize" the events and experiences that I've had within this world for so many years, I'd say yes, I've developed and am now working on several story-lines that came to me when putting my mind in the overall world of home building.

There's just so much going on and there are so many thrilling ideas to mine, that yes, I'd say I've built a separate "builder world" (in this case, almost literally) that I've used to cultivate different story ideas.

Thanks for sharing!
