too far; it becomes confusing. Also the double negative in the line:
"This wasnt an abnormality for Thomas"
would be better written as: "This was normality for Thomas".
At the moment I'm doing nanowrimo and writing a fictional biography about my house move, however I'm doing this as therapy with no thought of publication; it's too personal and has too many real people in it for publication. But other authors have published such novels during their lifetime.

Yep. Charles Dickens springs to mind. He fictionalized his own early life when writing Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.
