Creative Non-fiction

Any one person can sit down and tell you a story about something that happened, two years ago, while they were at a family picnic ,and their crazy uncle did something ridiculous; but to write Creative Non-fiction it takes more then that. You have to dig deep into your memories, even those that are still fresh in your mind. When you put words down on a paper, they have to be more then just a simple recollection. There needs to be intricate details, the way a room smelt or the specific colors that made up your mothers garden. Creative Non-fiction digs deep into your senses and forces you to transport yourself back to a place, and allow you to be in that moment, as if you were truly there again. It is like traveling in a time machine that takes you through your mind. There are no limits, and every road block you hit, you must dig deeper. There are no locks in Creative non-fiction, just fields of white paper that allow your pen and mind to run free. The focus is on you and or an event, and with out judgement you can be selfish. You take fact, that you experianced, and make it come alive; so that if another individual reads it, they to can feel, taste, smell, and imagine all that you did.
