100% To Be Non-Fiction (Reflection 7)

I guess I am just confused. I don’t understand why an author can’t just classify their novel in the right genre! The author knows whether the entire story they told is fiction or non-fiction so why is it so hard for them to put it in the right category? The only way I can kind of understand why they would put it into a certain genre is if certain genres sell better and the only motivation the author has to write is to make a profit. But still! If you want to write a story on something that has happened in your life, authors should keep their facts straight! I think there is a difference between making up little fibs here and there and dramatically changing what happened to you! For a book to be considered non-fiction, there better not be big “facts” blown out of proportion just to help the novel sell better! There are people who are going to think your memoir is interesting enough without all of the fiction added in! If you are going to write a non-fiction novel, I think it needs to be one hundred percent accurate. And if the novel is partially made up, put it in the fiction genre and let your imagination roll!
