The Prelude

How does a writer write her own love story? Like her actual true to life, sweeter than fiction, living and breathing romance novel? Does she write it in third person or first? Use fiction, non-fiction, or creative non-fiction? How does she adequately put into words the deepest and most secret stories of her heart onto one page? How does she share the most important story she will ever tell.
She starts at the beginning.

Could the genre be dependent on where she starts the story?
Say, if she does start from the beginning it would be creative-nonfiction giving creative license over actual events. If she started from the end isn't it then fictional? If she starts from the middle, she has all the choices in the world. And if the story is about a writer trying to write her own story then there's even more options of narrative and time placement.
