Toward a definition of creative nonfiction

Lotts discussion did little to my understanding of what i know to be creative non fiction. It was only clarified. Similar to Kincaids idea, Lott says that writing a non fiction should not be limited to just facts, because then its in close comparison to a police report. He further goes on to say that writing should be flowing, and one should not be afraid to use "I" in an essay, or short story for it helps in the creative aspect of the writting. Besudes that, reading the short story was confusing, and i found a hard time grasping the elaborated meaning.
