I wrote it because I taught that workshop. I spent years as a struggling actor —  A workshop acting teacher brought me into a program at the federal facility in Lompoc. The story came out of that experience. The flashbacks showing the life of a struggling actor are all based on mine. I just expounded on them. The prison experience is pure fiction..
