Write Away

I'm actually struggling a little bit with my current story because a number of superficial and circumstantial details about my main character are similar to mine - age, education, her initial living situation is a lot like mine in college, she can't cook - even though in the more significant aspects she's very different from me, and when my mom has read bits of my draft she always points these things out. So I have a considerable SHE'S NOT ME complex with this one, and I'm afraid that other people who know me will think that.
