Fantastic post. There is so much wisdom here. I’m putting this in my collection of newbie advice posts (which I share with my friends when I invite them to check out the platform). There is so much to learn when you’re just getting up to speed.

Great post, bookmarked for when I start my NF writing series. That's so long as I'm not struck down by colygraphia.

What a detailed, super-informative post! Thank you very much for sharing :).
PS By the way, for some reason, I always write as if I write fiction. lol It's almost as if before I start describing a scene, or a feeling, I have to look at the situation as an outsider. And then describe it. So it always comes out as fiction :).

Thanks, making non-fiction interesting and 'story like' is more difficult than most realize. Have a read of the article "based on a true story" might help set your mind at ease :-)
