Creative writing, by nature, should explore all facets of human life. Poetry uses language to expand emotional perception, fiction applies verbal invention and myth to the shape of the practical world, and fantasy invents new worlds. Drama projects human behavior onto a live stage, while non-fiction translates the reality we thought we saw into robust points of relevance to our lives. Though a writer may excel in one of these forms, most find at least some affinity for them all.
I’m the same. Fiction is my main form, but engaging an audience is the reason I write, so I can set fiction aside if I see an opportunity to get that engagement by other means. So, I do some work in poetry and non-fiction, not because I believe I have calling in those places, but because I don’t want to miss a chance to connect with a creative-writing audience that may be willing to listen.

So, I hope you’ll find satisfaction in your visit here. Wander around. Read what you come across. Ask a question. Read my anti-blog blog. I’m grateful for any comments.
