I will answer that by saying "I write, I do not publish". I have a bunch of stories and ideas begun, haven't finished too many (although have finished smaller, less than 20k word, stories). I like to do the research, I like to play with names and ideas.
One of my hobbies is genealogy, and I use that in a couple of stories (searching for family), and in names, dates, places. For example, my stepmom has a great aunt who was named Modjeska, I am using that name for a witch/mage type character in a current story. Or, my grandmother was adopted, and I used our search for her birth family, in a book (never completely finished).
So here is to me trying to finally finishing a story, lol.
