I’ve been trying to write creative nonfiction on Medium for years. I’m not sure if I get it right by the standards of an MFA program, but sometimes I think it clicks, just because a lot of readers really react.

I can almost feel it when a piece is going to connect with people. But sometimes when I feel it, I get it wrong and what people actually do is yawn.

So I just keep swinging the bat, hoping to improve my skills.

Creative nonfiction is perhaps my favorite art form, so thank you so much for featuring it.
