Blog #1: To tell you the truth...

For your first blog, think back to one of your earliest memories that you can recall.  Spend five minutes writing this memory down--what was happening, where was it happening, who was there, what was the weather like, etc.   Write now and read the rest of the instructions once you have finished.  Now, what parts of your memory are hazy or suspect in your mind?  What parts feel right but you're not sure about the exact detail?  If you were to turn this memory into a memoir, would you have any problems calling it Creative Nonfiction?  Why or why not?  Do you agree with author Joan Didion that "if you remember it, then it's true?" Why or why not?
