BC: Adding Confusion to Confusion
Prompt: Cryptomnesia is a certain type of a memory bias where a memory is mistaken for imagination. It is said that this happens to writers quite often. What do you think about this memory quirk? Have you ever written something that you didn’t know at first if it was a memory or a derivative of it or totally your imagination?

I don't know if I have this or not. What I do have is "wish I would have's" that become my truth. And I also steal other people's truth and use it as my own. Who knows if it ever was truth or not.

So either I don't understand the prompt or I think every writer is guilty of distorting things a little or a lot depending on their needs and personal issues.

Now, I can't remember if I'm coming or going. I'll be back when I find myself or something like that.
