Richard Simon
If you are writing fiction you can make up characters, events and stories and not be lying. You can create characters that the readers care about and you can create suspense where the readers develop emotions for those characters and root for things to happen for or against them. You can share your personal experiences and life lessons that you have learned by adapting your fiction to real events that have shaped you.
