I think it's just that people who write in paper journals at least get their thoughts out on paper, like you do.
And, yes, novels tend to reflect an author experiences. I remember having to pour over too many Dosteovsky bios to "understand" what Crime and Punishment was about.
People assume I'm five or more years younger than I am. Perhaps that is because you look five or more years younger than you really are? ;)
Writing can be a wonderful way of confronting and toying with fears in a metaphoric, fantasy world where the demons are more likely to hurt your characters than you. I may just have to use this a future installment of TU Cent Thoughts.
