Creative license is a permission structure that allows you to fill in the blanks with non-consequential choices. Was her name Bridget or Diane? Pick one. Did the story take place in the boardroom or a conference room? Pick one. Did your coach say, "Get your head in the game," or 'Get out of your head and into the game?" Pick one.
