* Music/JoannaNewsom described her sophomore album ''[[Music/Ys2006 Ys]]'' as a "collection of true stories" about herself and people in her life. However, you have to do a good amount of interpretation and analysis to make any assumptions about her life, due to her [[WorldOfSymbolism poetic and allegorical]] [[SignatureStyle style of songwriting]].

* George Costanza from ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' was modeled by the show's co-creator and head writer Creator/LarryDavid after himself and his personal life, something George's actor, Jason Alexander, only realized after they had finished the first several episodes. For example, a storyline where George dramatically quit his job only to show up the next day and pretend nothing happened was based on Larry David's own experience quitting the sketch comedy show ''Series/{{Fridays}}'' and immediately regretting it. Other Costanza antics reportedly based on Larry David's life include replacing a girlfriend's answering machine tape with a blank one to stop her from hearing his own angry message and participating in a contest to see who could refrain from masturbating the longest.

* ''Fanfic/AThingOfVikings'': The writer is Jewish and a former science teacher; unsurprisingly, there's a Jewish sub-plot and a lot of focus on science (mostly Hiccup's inventions, but also speculation on dragon biology). He's also a history enthusiast and a lot of details in the story are based on actual historical fact.

* In general this is why there are so many songs about music, traveling, and long-distance relationships, as these are all specific aspects of the life of a professional musician.
* About 90% of GangstaRap falls under this trope, as the overwhelming majority of it is written by people who grew up living the street gangster life in all its misery.
