#2: Initial revision
While it sounds like what you're writing is _not_ Creative Nonfiction, this essay about it may help clarify your self-description:[https://www.creativenonfiction.org/online-reading/what-creative-nonfiction](https://www.creativenonfiction.org/online-reading/what-creative-nonfiction) > "Creative” doesn’t mean inventing what didn’t happen, reporting and describing what wasn’t there. It doesn’t mean that the writer has a license to lie. The cardinal rule is clear—and cannot be violated. This is the pledge the writer makes to the reader—the maxim we live by, the anchor of creative nonfiction: “You can’t make this stuff up!”
