#Writing_Wednesday THE DEBATE- Fiction vs. Nonficiton

When it comes to writing, there are two main types: Fiction and Nonfiction. Nonfiction deals with facts- it's all real, whereas fiction is all made up. Though it often follows realistic criteria, characters, plot, and sometimes setting have all been made up by the author.

And here on The Words are Flowing, we'll be having a debate between fiction and nonfiction.

Fiction: I'm so much easier to write! You don't have to worry about the facts, and instead, you can just write without a care in the world. 

Nonfiction: When writing me, you may have to do some research, and fiction thinks that's bad. In doing research, you can learn more. After all, as Albert Szent-Gyorigyi said, "Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought." 

Fiction: In fiction, you can be free, entering a world that is all your own with no rules to follow. 

Nonfiction: If you read non-fiction, you need not have a doubt about the facts presented to you. Tom Wolfe says, "Non-Fiction is never going to die." It is true, too. 

Fiction: Nonfiction will become outdated. Fiction will never, because it has no limits.

Nonfiction: Nonfiction will always be true to the day it was written. 

Fiction: What's better, y'all? True to the day it was written or true forever? 

Nonfiction: What is better- The facts or something that someone made up? 

You decide- Fact or Fiction? Why?
