Despite my disclaimer, I put a lot of people I know into my characters, and most of them know they're in the story. My husband is basically Joan's husband with a name change, and my husband is also my beta reader.
A friend who sang at my wedding gave me permission to use some of his lyrics in the story, but that chapter won't be released for a few more weeks.
I also put in someone who died a few weeks before my wedding, but I'm not telling who that person is.
As far as characters who are totally fabricated go, my husband's girlfriend Linda doesn't exist. I'm polyamorous with two male lovers, who I am not seeing in person right now due to the pandemic, and my husband is welcome to get a girlfriend if he wants one, but he hasn't found one yet. When writing Linda, I asked my husband how he wanted her to look, so I essentially gave him an imaginary girlfriend.
So, who in your life shows up in your story? Do they know they are in it?
