I can't be your therapist, but I can tell you if you need one :)

Re: Questions? Comments? Freak outs? duskblue January 19 2012, 11:31:39 UTC

When you say "rewrite it from someone else's POV," do you mean someone else that was there when I had the memory in real life? or can I take the memory, fictionalize it, and write it from a fictional character's POV?

LOL, sorry to be difficult! :D Thanks!

Re: Questions? Comments? Freak outs? nynaeve_sedai January 19 2012, 16:48:41 UTC

If you'd like to do it that way, sure! It's creative non-fiction or personal historical fiction (and while I'm sure someone will take me to task for comparing the two, honestly, I'm okay with it LOL). Embellish as you will! :)

Since we can do two, can it be the same scenario from two other people's perspectives?
