That makes a lot of sense and I think it's something I do. Nothing wrong with a little embellishment when our aging memories' details start to fade.
You'd be surprised how much actually gets by me haha (Some of it, I simply let it and pretend not to notice :)
I have to use embellishment sparingly. I don't want to have to struggle with the "which Will am I today" every time I write something. It's enough of a problem as it is since the "me" that comes out depends on my mood, clarity, caffeine intake, weather forecast, and bitcoin price. It makes writing an adventure!
