I go from there. But I studied anyhow. I am still a student of writing. Speculate about creative nonfiction as an emerging genre in American literature. Most ideally, creative nonfiction ends up saving the people of the world, those of us who have for-gotten who we are, those of us who are on fire, those of us who must have stories.
Stories are something that people like.
That scrambling around is pretty much a full-time job. As a creative nonfiction writer, I use everything in my work. I love the way a word feels when I write it. And I read and watch movies and listen to music. Then also, I have had an interesting life.
