As long as we're on the subject of creative nonfiction and the wavy line between nonfiction and fiction, I'd like to recommend another resource:

IN FACT: THE BEST OF CREATIVE NONFICTION, edited by Lee Gutkind, considered by many as the "grandfather of creative nonfiction." He has written an interesting foreword titled, "The Creative Nonfiction Police." Annie Dillard's advice to writers is worth the cost of the book.

Mimi Schwartz also offers an interesting perspective in "Research and Creative Nonfiction," the Writer's Chronicle (December 2004).
