Creative Nonfiction

Great post, Margie. There is an unwritten contract between author and reader (in all cases) with rules set forth under the genre, literary fiction and creative non-fiction. This contract must not, at any point, be broken with creative non-fiction.

In all cases, the events expressed are true and occurred…without fail.

The creative process in this case, is the application of theme, motifs, structure, metaphors, etc. applied for the betterment of the non-fiction description of events.

Otherwise, it’s just a list of horrible events which is tantamount to sticking a needle in your eye!

Great discussions last night. Thanks for revisiting this, Margie!
