This is my first post, but I've been reading around here all night. I've been working on a memoir/life story but I'm still a bit confused about everything.
Basically, I'm in the middle of a novel about my freshman year of college. Nothing illegal or incriminating is in it, although I still want to change the names because I'm not sure that people would like how they're portrayed. My main question is, since I've obviously had to make up some dialogue and events (because I don't remember exactly, and for the the suspense/flow), is it still nonfiction? And if it is, will anyone want to read it? Or should I just pass it off as fiction and hope that no one ever finds out? I'm just so confused, and reading some other people's threads on the topic have made it even worse! I could really use some input! Thanks!
