I find myself often putting small details into my stories that come straight from my life experience: a car model, a location, a reference to a book or a movie… small details that make the story feel more connected and help me dive into it.
Do you do this as well? And do you keep those things in your work or do you anonimize or erase those little details, when you give others your work to read?

I often write case studies and tend to use the first names of characters from my favourite films and TV shows. My last piece of work included people called Jonas, Martha, Ulrich, Franziska and Charlotte.
