One could easily argue that all fiction is, in some sense, creative non-fiction. After all, a writer doesn't come to the page devoid of experience. And it's that experience-coupled with a dollop or two of imagination (not to mention a whole arsenal of mechanics)-that turns the writer's non-fictional event, at least in the writer's mind, into a story worth telling. If (s)he's lucky, and has perfected his or her craft, it's also a story worth reading...
