It takes time to get to point where you can start putting pen to paper, or in this day and age finger to keyboard to screen. Whatever your choice of medium, the point remains the same. An experience, an event, a moment - when are we really able to write about something past and in doing so are we letting a little bit of the memory go?
When you try to get across a story based on fact, an element of fiction or 'spin' as the media refer to it, is used consciously or not in order to make it that little bit more interesting, or that little bit more real. Ironic no? But back to my point (and you'll soon learn that I tend to diverge from one topic to another all too easily). Does this fictitious injection alter the blueprint of an experience in our minds so that over time we no longer recognise what is real and what is supplementing fact?
