how to write literary non-fiction!

For my third and final  paper, I have chosen to write a literary non-fiction piece of a traumatic occurrence that I experienced involving a car accident. The website below explains that this genre of writing is simply a mixture of literature and non-fiction. You tell a true story but you can jazz it up a bit, which is exactly what I plan on doing. What actually happened to me is interesting, but not interesting enough for me to write eight pages about, so I plan to add more characters, different voices, a lot of explanation, more tragedy, and most importantly, a ton of sensory details. :)
