My definition of creative non fiction writing

To me creative non fiction writing is a personal narrative with descriptive language. For instance I could write about the day of my high school graduation. "My graduation", would consist of how I was feeling that day, the jitters and the excitement I felt through the ceremony, and I would finish describing the exuberant night and the end of the day.

Defining by using an example is a good way to start (hahah - especially because that's what I did - giving you a group of readings first - before giving you an essay that works on a definition). Yeah, for sure it starts with personal experience. Anything else? Any other features that you noticed in the readings?
