RE: SPRING EVENTS: Enjoying Music in La Herradura

Okay. I'm sorry. I thought the community also accepted nonfiction pieces and event reports. Since my English isn't fluent, I misunderstood the guidelines. Next time, I'll post a work of fiction. It won't happen again.

Sort:  

We do accept nonfiction, but a special kind of nonfiction: Creative nonfiction. A model for this might be Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. It is a story based on fact, but the narrative uses many tools customarily used in fiction: dialogue, scene, narrative arc. The piece may be based on fact, but reads like a story. An evocative memoir might be creative nonfiction.

I hope that description helps :)
