  • I've always thought that the opposite of fiction should be faction. ;-) However, that word is already in use!

  • It's funny, coming from you that was a real question. I didn't automatically assume it was a mistake. I had no idea what it could be but I really was prepared for any answer. :) again, cool workshop, if you have more of it, I would love to hear it.

  • IMHO Non fiction is what lives in our hearts and souls. The only truth that matters.

  • The next question is are we really even here? Or a figment of someone something's imagination...

    Pappy mumbled it...

  • I very much agree, but have usually thought of it from the other side; that there's no such thing as "fiction" - All storytelling (written, sung, danced, etc.) is just varying degrees and mixes of imperfect memory, interpretation, spin, salesmanship, and desperate longing.

  • OMy. This is so very true. The re-telling of anything must have some fiction. When you re-tell something, you add a bit of yourself in it, or perhaps remove (ha) some of yourself in it. You are a beautiful woman.

  • Hehe, I'm not even quite sure if we can always completely grasp "the event as it's happening". :-)

  • :-)
