Truth is an exotic animal. Let people I know believe that the story they are reading is fiction and they gobble it up with smiles and great sighs. Everyone loves a good story. Those same people might turn away in disgust if they knew how little fiction I write.
Truth is not for the faint hearted. Being able to stand up and say this is my life, take it, or leave it, is the hero's quest. I am certainly not the hero in my stories.
Fiction is seldom as good as truth. Real heroes are real people living real lives in real places.
Dreams embody the truth. Fiction is not the stuff of dreams, it is not that important.
I am a good writer and my stories end happily ever after, but sometimes my dreams make me cry real tears.
