I write creative non-fiction. People always ask me what that means- it sounds like a contradiction in terms. But it is a legit form of literary writing, and in the simplest of terms, it is writing wherein the facts of the story are true and the writing is, well, creative. The writer can condense a series of events into a short period of time or stretch them out to meet the need. In my story, Metro Mice, I really was in the Paris Metro, there was a busy mouse on his way somewhere, movie posters, and a man who stared to see what I was looking at. And yes I was very embarrassed when he didn’t see what I saw.
