All the Musings for Another Shelf
Follow these links for all things writing from me beyond fiction and poetry.
Updated 10/29/2022
I don’t write as much non-fiction as I do fiction and poetry (funny, really, since the creative writing class I took a few years back focused almost entirely on creative non-fiction), but there are times when I need to open a vein of my own and let it bleed.
I doubt these articles and pieces will be that dramatic, though you never can tell with this writing gig. Still, what I learned most about non-fiction is that there is a “wound” for every idea, to the point that you need to focus on what is real — what is as vivid as searing pain, in some cases — to make the words ring true for the reader.
Mostly, these pieces will be about my writing life or my career search. But I do attempt the occasional humorous essay (to limited results). Just follow the heading themes to find what you may be interested in.
Thank you for your support!
