Parts 3&4
Creative Nonfiction: Biographical Profile

In fiction, your imaginative drive is completely a product of your literary mind. In creative nonfiction,
real life engages with your literary mind. What aspect of reality you want to write about depends entirely upon
your decision.
In fiction, you can invent an entirely different point of view in presenting a story. In creative nonfiction,
you could do the same, but such a story needs facts. From the Latin factum, fact refers to something that actually
occurred or happened. Because it actually happened, we consider it as a thing known to be true.
