A judgement call.

I often don't see things the same way as other people. We can be looking at the same event. But I see something significant. That others didn't see. So if I'm writing a story. About what I saw. People may suspect that  I'm making it up.  Or it may just be that I'm glamorizing the situation. Because I'm a romantic idealist.  I see romance. Where others don't.  Does that mean I'm a fabricator of the truth? No. It's my truth. And it doesn't necessarily have to be your truth. When I was a newspaper reporter. I often picked and choose. What I would emphasize and play up  in the story.  I decided what was important. And that's a judgement call. --Jim Broede
