What you describe is pretty common. Happens to me all the time. When journaling, I'll write down something like "Character X said Y", when I really mean that they conveyed a similar message to what I claimed they said. If I insist on direct quotes, I'll make something up that sounds plausible, given the context and what I know of the message conveyed. Although I do that rarely, I think it adds just a tad bit immersion to my entries. |
