If you have time to prepare your lies then it just requires a sort of reframing.<p>Do all your imagining ahead of time. Walk through and construct the lie. Fill in the details. You&#x27;re not just imagining this one thing, you&#x27;re imagining an entire alternate reality where this thing is true and all the implications that follow from that.<p>When it comes time to answer questions the person is asking about the alternate reality you&#x27;ve imagined. No need to make things up - just recall back.<p>I guess I&#x27;m saying the same thing as you, just in a different way - don&#x27;t make something up on a moments notice, just have a different story that you tell.
