Fiction as Real as My Breath.

Fiction as Real as My Breath.

I’ve been writing so much serious non-fiction I’ve forgotten how to write fun, lighthearted fiction. Or non-fiction, I guess. I don’t really have any stories to tell. Some people, I’ve seen them, they have stories. Characters, plots, rich new worlds of imagination…. I don’t. My aborted novel is testimony to that – it’s awful not [...]
