Advice for Aspiring Writers: Use your experiences and be creative. In an interview, Jane once said, "Children are little people and have a whole gamut of feelings. I'm able to mine those feelings, use those feelings for characters. But if I told them [my memories] exactly the way it happened, that's not as interesting a story. It would be boring. That's what makes a writer; that mixture of reality and imagination."

Love that. That's the best part of being a fiction writer, using our imaginations to give reality a major boost!
"Use your experiences and be creative."
That's why it's so important to live life to it's fullest when you're a writer (or anyone for that matter) so you have many memories and experiences to drawn on.
Reality isn't a good read, but taking that experience and weaving an interesting tale is the mark of a true author.
