I love this succinct explanation of where the line is for truth in nonfiction writing. I've been thinking of keeping a file on my computer for those tiny details I change in family stories so I'm not gaslighting my own kids. Something like a footnotes for family. I.E. In Story X, I make it sound like both of these events happened while we were still living in house Y but actually we were already in house Z for the second one.
