-The Emotional Truth: writing about the
person experience. It could be success
fully achieve by asking
"How did you
feel?
-Memory vs. Imagination: memory is not
perfect, and sometimes there could be
presented holes in a story about the
details. Do not try to fill these wholes by
lying about it.
-The Time Effect: a writer must play with
the notion of time and its use to convey
the information successfully.
-A Composite Character: sometimes it is
need to create a fictional character in
order to protect a person's privacy. By
this, more details and personal
information can be provided, without
revealing the person's identity.
-Direct Disclaimers: introducing a
disclaimer to allow readers know the information is not 100% accurate
