Fascinating approach, thanks for laying it out so clearly. I’ve struggled with the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction or years. In fact, I turned to poetry as a result. Research pulls me in so deep I have a hard time staying true to task. I think the last tip is the most difficult.

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy them. There are loads of other examples out there, by other authors, so you could be reading for a while if you so choose.

I have long thought that what we study in sociology should be expressed in narrative form and appreciate your post for its honesty and advice. Looking forward to reading your novels for inspiration!
