I want to write a novel based on a real story;however, I want to change the names of the persons that the novel is based on. I am new to writing and have hopes of writing this novel but I am sure where to begin. If you have great starting ideas, please let me know.

I recently asked this same question in another forum and the answer was this: If somebody can read your work and say "Hey! That's Bob!" then you're in trouble. Better to take the "real world" incident that's making you want to write and twist it, add to it, feed it. I'm betting by the time you're done it won't resemble your original inspiration much, which is just fine.
