Question: Do true stories write themselves!?
Based on the Truth, 99% of the time!.!.!.!.!.

He peeled back the flesh of his high ankle, exposing the tissue and bone!. He felt a moment of pain, then wonder!. He replaced the flap and wrapped a torn piece of his shirt around the leg, tightening as he went!.
The bear trap was still half buried in the ground, staring up at him, smiling with its iron teeth and rusted eyes!. He let the burn of the wound warm him as he limped deeper into the forest!. No water, no food!. He still had the knife and half a book of matches!. He thought about dying, here under the frozen branches of the oaks, and decided against it!.
Winter grinned towards dusk as he began to prepare a fire!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Aren't all stories based somewhat on truth!? Then embellished!? A story of survival -- sometimes the character lives, The Old Man and the Sea; and sometimes he dies, To Build a Fire, which I was thinking about this morning!. Your story is very compelling!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

True stories contain all of the elements needed for a good tell!. The mechanics of the telling usually still need some work but you have told it well and graphically!. I feel the shooting pain in my ankle as I read!.

Your protagonist has to survive the night!. He will need to remain warm!. He will need to quench his thirst!.

When he has returned to the world of the living he will need a tetanus shot!. And maybe a cast and a doctor to cleanse and properly stitch his ankle so it can properly heal!.

I hope he is a reader rather than a television watcher!. He will be doing a lot of resting for a while!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

many true storys took place on mother earth!.!. skilfully written and/or told by the most outspoken eloquent writers of the time!.!. but there was something that felt wrong!.!. me said : felt!. if you were to point it out to the crowd!.!. you will end up fighting for your small place in life!.!. like buckowski!.!. saying : my life not your death / my death not your death!.

if Orson Wells bluffed the nation with a fake story!.!. imagine what can his rank-peers writers would do with a 100% true story!.!. for a handful of dollars!.!.they would sell the magdalens as schweins!.!. and vice versa!.

Is part 2 in the way!? anticipating!.
me find your write enjoyable!. mr!. buk!.ty!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
