Concerns about 1st amendment/libel/invasion of privacy issues have been looming over my head.
I find myself including conversations where I am told about hearsay or given second-hand accounts of events, in order to give backstory about some of the peripheral people in my story. of course in my writing I present them THROUGH the conversations (dialogue) in which the information was relayed to me (I do not pretend I witnessed the event with my own too eyes).
I am very early in this process, but I sometimes dwell on the possibility that I may have to cut or censor certain parts. And I feel like I will be compromising the full potential of the story.
