posted message: I am doing NANO in November, I want to write about things that have happened in my life since they involve so many people and the connections I made and learned from the experiences are important to pass on to others, is there ANY way to take that and make it fiction - I would like to follow the rules of it being a fiction piece, but do not know how to take realistic events that occurred and make it still a tool for others and interesting, does merely changing the name of someone make it fiction if it is based on real events? lol....Thanks!
