A sanctuary for weary writers, inky wretches, and aspiring professional novelists. |
I'm in the middle of writing a story[some of it is on here] about some real life experiences I've been involved with and I was wondering what the limits are on how truthful the truth really is. The reason I ask this is because I just finished reading Augusten Burroughs works Running With Scissors and Dry and I know he was sued big time for writing about real life incidents, that the ones included claimed he had slandered their family name. One day I intend to have a novel published and want to include some of this within the story and wanted to know how much truth can actually be in the story? Must only names be changed? |
