This group of pages will be devoted to non-fiction and creative non-fiction essays and short stories. Fiction is my first writing love but I have come to enjoy creative non-fiction as well.
In classes at BSU we were told about creative non-fiction and how it seems to be a contradiction in terms, but in reality, everything we write comes from “us” or from inside us, and that even the coldest research paper has a tad bit of creativity in it due to the organization, topic, themes, etc in them. But I quickly realized the creative part of creative non-fiction referred to the “how” and not the “what” in a piece. In other words, is isn’t what the facts are, it is how the facts are told that makes it creative. For example, one piece here on my blog is a lyric essay (The Impossible Paper). A lyric essay is an essay (non-fiction still) in poetic form, or free verse form, or in just about any form you wish. Mine is in semi-verse form, and there is no meter and no rhyme. It was on writing an impossible paper assignment one of my English professors had assigned to us the semester before I wrote this. The reason it was impossible is there were so many restrictions on what subjects we couldn’t write about, and I didn’t think I could write about any subject.
The others will have little headers explaining why there were written, or interesting facts about them.
