Description: to tear apart pretty much anybody we choose to. It's becoming a devalued term, and it's making us lose our capacity for empathy and for distinguishing between serious and unserious transgressions. Justine had 170 Twitter followers, and so to make it work, she had to be fictionalized.

Isabel Allende

There's basically an element of fiction in everything you remember. Imagination and memory are almost the same brain processes. When I write fiction, I know that I'm using a bunch of lies that I've made up to create some form of truth. When I write a memoir, I'm using true elements to create something that will always be somehow fictionalized.

Chilean Writer

Matthew Stover

Perhaps the most significant thing George Lucas did in creating 'Star Wars' was to fictionalize the Tao - to spark a universe where we can talk about the Force in objective terms and show it in direct action.

American Novelist

Kit Harington

I don't want people thinking they know me instead of the character. Steve McQueen has loads of stories about him - who knows what's true? But it's great for people to fictionalize rather than know the truth.

English Actor

Junot Diaz

I don't think I could have tackled 'The Pura Principle' until now. It takes me about twenty years to come to term with any difficult period in my life, to get enough of a grasp on it to fictionalize it.

American Writer

Masaba Gupta

Mom and I are playing fictionalized characters of ourselves in 'Masaba Masaba.' The series is a slice of our lives, and reliving key moments, even though fictionalized, took me down memory lane.

Indian Designer

Sarah Weinman

When a novel is based on an actual crime, it should do much more than loosely fictionalize it. The novel must stand alone as a work of art that justifies using the story for its own purposes.

American Journalist

John Grisham

I had never written anything. And I had never studied writing. So my motives were pure: I had a great story... a courtroom drama that I sort of fictionalized, and that became 'A Time to Kill.

Claire Danes

It's very difficult to judge yourself. Extreme self-doubt is only attractive when it's fictionalized. Which is why people love the movies. They are so reassuring.

American Actress

Lacey Chabert

Playing a real-life character is definitely a lot more responsibility than one that is fictionalized.

Kristin Gore

I make things up for a living. It would be pretty boring to just fictionalize real people.

American Author

Used when adding drama or intrigue to real events in stories or films.

Dramatic Effect

Authors take liberties to modify facts for narrative purposes.

Creative License

Not meant to trick but to craft a compelling story.

Not Deceptive

Writers often fictionalize elements of their own lives in their work.

Self-Insertion

It is about interpreting real elements creatively, not just copying them.

Artistic Interpretation

Changes enough details to make the person or thing unrecognizable.

 against her characters' external existences. In her novel "To the Lighthouse," mundane moments, like a dinner party, or losing a necklace trigger psychological revelations in the lives of the Ramsay's, a fictionalized version of Woolf's family growing up.

Why should you read...

 that kind of, in a fictionalized way, devoted itself to talking about the Monuments Men and these were really my heroes. When I was in grad school studying art history and also serving as a young military officer and I thought wow, that's pretty cool.
