Fact and Truth in CNF

Creative Non-Fiction has a complicated relationship with truth. While non-fiction must inherently be true, putting any event on paper alters it in some way. Additionally, in an attempt to enhance the creativity of the piece, we must think deeply about the event to extract details. While these details may seem accurate to us, they may be incorrectly remembered depending on how long ago the event took place. Ultimately, the truth of the piece is relevant to the author themselves.
