Denise's observation that it wasn't until she "finally divorced the real person from my protagonist that [she] was able to progress with the story" really resonates with me. I don't write historical fiction (at least not at the moment), but many of my stories are grounded in real-life experience and it's only when I let go of the concreteness of the initial memory and let creativity take over, that the story really blossoms.
