Wholeheartedly agree Rik. One thing that I find is that my “relationship” to the facts, is a core part of the story I’m telling, and that relationship — my feelings and interpretation — is constantly changing. This may cause the “facts” to move around a bit to make the story deliver the intended meaning.
Ah yes, that's an aspect that I resonate with too (though not covered in this essay), the changing of interpretation. I find that usually, right after I've published an essay, already I feel (even slightly) different about something I just wrote ;)

Well stated, Rik. Perhaps revealing the core truth requires that the "bean-counter" facts be altered a bit. You benefit, as do your readers.
Thank you Larry :) I agree!
You need to be a good liar to tell a true story.
Agreed :) Nice essay title too.
