    What do you all think? who might find the life of a pizza girl relatable, or maybe just interesting to read about? Any suggestions on how I should go about it? I 'm just kinda looking to get really inspired about it. Maybe someone can help maybe not. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

    As a first person write that is humorous, it would work.

    Thanks for the reply. I wrote like a paragraph on it. A lot of it is going to be based on real experiences, can I get into any sort of legal trouble, does anyone know? I mean I would change all the names, of the pizza place and the people I write about.Like for example one of the employees has tourettes if I described them like they really are, but don't use any of their names, could that be an issue?

      I don't think it would be an issue if you changed all the names. That happens all the time "to protect the innocent", and then they show events as they really happened, but to Bob and Amy instead of Larry and Sue.

      There's some legal stuff about writing about a real person without their consent, but I'm not sure how that works in those "tell-all" memoir books.

    Yeah thats the sort of thing that I'm a little worried about. not that I think any of them would even bother reading it, it's just my blunt honestly that I want to use might cause some problems if they did. the thing is, this is something that I really want to write, and I want it to be real.

    And just to mention it, if I ever do publish this it will be published as fiction.

    Don't use real names, create a fictional scene, protect the innocent=won't get sued.

    Most of what fiction is, is based on real life with a few changes.

    Say if no one can recognize themselves in your memoir than you're good. Make the tourettes syndrome person of the opposite sex and like that, it it's a real guy then make it a girl in the memoir and like that. get it?
