Binati, should my story be a work of fiction or nonfiction?
It can be both because that which is real can be fictionalised, and that which is fictional can be real.
I've made a video using Kathryn Harrison sharing her story with her books. (Linked in the comment section).
A traumatic incident took control of Kathryn's life and derailed it. The story of how she endured it and prevailed is sadly real. To gain control over what happened to her, she fictionalised her real and wrote her first book. The satisfaction one gets after letting the story go turned into frustration (for her) because she felt she manipulated the truth to feel powerful. She then wrote her second book, a memoir detailing everything that happened. She was finally at peace with her story. For her, the answer was both. Nonfiction allowed her to let the truth out. Fiction allowed her to feel powerful. Both served a purpose that was unique to her.
Acknowledge your story.

Write your story.
Ya?
