RE: NOTES FROM AN AMATEUR WRITER #52 - A Nomadic Australian Celebrates Australia Day
Yeah personalizing a story does attend a unique touch to it and makes it something only you own. Fictionalizing things is alright as long as they are your stories. I do that too, at times. Haven't done that on steemit though.
A lot of my blog posts end up this way. When I write more serious fiction then things can change. Its like I'm acting out the part in my head and just put that on paper. Even if it's made up, it's coming from a part of me.
This bit was quite interesting:
I haven't fictionalized things related to others but yeah I do that with information related to myself. And doing that often helps me understand my inner needs better. It is like a voice inside of me is telling me what I really want.
The only others I would fictionalise about is made-up others. Otherwise I would be veering into lies and dishonesty territory.
If I add characters in to little story segments, as I have done with the Notes series, often they are based on real life encounters, and some alterations (for entertainment) will take place - that is I may base it on someone I met, but it isn't them.
