Blazing Readers & Wordy Writers discussion

132) Think of a memory from your past, a fond memory, a puzzling one, or if you're brave, something tragic or traumatizing. Write out the memory as if it were a story you were telling. Change little details--like names of places and characters or colors and designs--to make it a fictional account. This is creative nonfiction. You can even change some of the real live events/plot points slightly to your own ends, but keep the heart of the memory the same. Be authentic. If it's simple and lovely, make the reader feel right at home in your piece. If there's more sorrow behind the memory, draw the reader into that.

Key Item: Be sure to share the lesson, point, or main idea behind your memory in the creative nonfiction piece.
