Writing Fiction Versus Non-Fiction
Author: siggyI write only non-fiction. At least I call it that. I have not been able to write fiction. In fact, the prospect of attempting that has me terrified.
I know a fellow writer who has the opposite problem: she is terrified of writing non-fiction. I find that interesting.
There are authors I have seen who do both–write non-fiction as well as fiction. To me that is also interesting. I wonder what percent of authors can do both. I really have no idea.
It would be interesting to me to explore that. My mind just rebels every time I even consider writing fiction.
Should I just accept that? Or should I explore further if I am able to compose fiction or just leave it at that: I only write non-fiction and that is okay.
