Re: Re: Re: Does fact ever get in the way of fiction?
Mine is fiction...one of those "names are changed" and nothing is exactly the same. The main character is based on me. The story certainly isn't true. It isn't written in first person. I think because the "starter" ws a painful experience to me might have something to do with it. I decided a long time ago to write what is given to me by inspiration,which often begins with some emotional upheaval in my life, (partiuclarly in my lyrics) so I've passed the hurdle of others reading my pain. I was first aware of it in the 6th grade when a neighbor wanted me to write my true experiences. My home life wasn't exactly happy and I wasn't able to do that. I also remember the first time I decided to write the whole truth (as I experienced it) no matter who read it. Of course, that was in my journal...so that's different.
