a writing prompt & reading recommendation for November
Hi writers and readers,
Each month I offer a writing prompt and a reading recommendation for my paid subscribers, geared toward writers of creative nonfiction and memoir.
My hope is that these prompts and recommendations can be a resource for writers who might not currently be attending a writing class, but who still want to engage with the creative nonfiction world and with their writing practice on their own schedule.
The first step to finding authority and authenticity in your writing, after all, is to write and read. Take some time to notice what resonates with you, notice what you like and what nags at you in other essays, poems and books. Write a few lines or paragraphs yourself, within the safe confines of a prompt. You never know what starting these new habits might bring forth.
