Writing Excuses 8.51: Creative non-fiction with Mette Ivie Harrison
Mette Ivie Harrison joins us to discuss creative non-fiction, the genre in which the tools of creative writing are applied to factually accurate narratives. Her latest book, Iron Mom, tells the story of how and why Mette became a triathlete. We talk about how those tools are applied, and where the line between fiction and non-fiction might be drawn.
Homework: Try your hand at creative non-fiction. Takes something that is ordinary to you, but which may be unusual or extraordinary for other people, and write about it in a way that evokes wonder.
Thing of the week: Steelheart, by Brandon Sanderson, narrated by Macleod Andrews.
