I exaggerate, tweek, and enhance 'stories'. I start from a basis of the truth and the facts but I admit to embellishing the degree to which the story has importance. Is it attention seeking? I dunno. Is it wanting to be entertaining? Perhaps. Is it fibbing? To an extent but the 'meat and potatoes' of what i am relating remains the same. Is it a case of trying to emphasise the message? Maybe.
