Share your writing genre
I dare to say that if I have one, my genre is creative nonfiction.
Most of my published works, whether creatively or professionally, would likely be considered nonfiction.
Although a piece I’ve been working on for many years is fictional, it is loosely based on truth.
However, all of my other writing is the telling of experiences – either mine or others. The types of stories I like to read these days also fall into this genre.
In my younger days, I reveled in the fantasy worlds and escaped to fictional realities so far removed from my own. Yet, as I have defined myself and traversed the world π absorbing not only my own stories, but those whom I have met, it has become clearer that humans are tellers of stories.
The more stories I hear, the truer the sayings are that ‘truth is stranger than fiction’ or ‘sometimes you just can’t make sh@t up’.
So, while I continue to respect and consume those who can make fiction come alive, I am drawn to creatively writing the true stories of this crazy life. π
