The trouble with stories

Today I had a conversation today with a writer who agreed with me that it's a lot safer for writers to market true life as fiction than to market fiction as true life. However, neither technique guarantees immunity. The former could get you into trouble with your publisher and your promoters, the latter with your friends, your enemies and worst of all, your relatives.

Quote Of The Moment
Why is our memory good enough to recall to the last detail things that have happened to us, yet not good enough to recall how often we have told them to the same person?
