Started believing I was a fictional character invented by me.
I told my daughter (age 7) that Santa is a wonderful character invented by adults.

As for your emotions, memories, insights and invented characters, what makes you think anyone will care?
From now on, invent characters that are noble and good.
A fiction writer is thus free to invent very specific events and characters in the imagined history.
He'll invent characters out of whole cloth, like Falstaff in the history plays.
