Well, maybe more so with that story, which seemed to straddle the line between fiction and nonfiction. No, it didn't straddle a line. It was fiction. It is autobiographical, but it's not straddling a line. And that's what fiction does.
Fiction can come from real-life events and still be fiction.
It can still have that connection, that germ. It came from something that happened to you. That doesn't mean it's straddling a line between nonfiction and fiction. And the whole narrative strategy is obviously fictional. It's not a nonfiction narrative strategy.
