What makes you different from everyone else you know? Do you have weird family traditions or daily rituals? Have you traveled somewhere exotic (or so mundane, no one else thinks to visit there)? Have you won some award or performed some amazing feat? What do you dream about?
As a reader, what makes you unique? What baggage or preconceptions do you bring to a text? How does your interpretation and reaction differ from everyone else's? How can you read through your own difference?
Tell a story that is completely yours.

I guess you could say that everyone has emotional baggage that comes out in writing. I know that my experiences have left me to become the writer I am today. I watched alot of sasquatch movies as a child, and I often read about other mythical beasts as well. I often find myself creating stories in my head that relate back to myths and legends. All of my humor and creative writing is in some way related to my childhood laced with myths of hairy monsters who eventually become my friends.
