Jody Worsham replied to jeff herman's discussion DOES FICTION REQUIRE A DIFFERENT BRAIN? in the group Non-fiction"Non-fiction is based on facts in evidence. Fiction can go anywere. I had a whole brain, then I aquired children again in my senior years. Now I have half a brain but write twice as much. Thre's lesson in there....somewhere."

You Had Questions? EBWW 2012 Had Answers By Jody WorshamAll rights reserved for a magic eight ballIn April of this year I attended the Erma Bombeck Writers Workshop in Dayton, Ohio looking for answers. I wasn’t disappointed. Whatever question I had, it was answered. And if I didn't like the answer I got in the first session, I could just go to the next one and keep going until you got the answer you liked. For example: Question #1: How do I get something published?Session A: Build your…See More

jeff herman replied to Jody Worsham's discussion Is there a semi-non-fiction group? in the group Non-fiction"There are many reasons why an author may choose to designate the truth as fiction."
Jody Worsham replied to Jody Worsham's discussion Is there a semi-non-fiction group? in the group Non-fiction"Sounds like me as a teenager telling my mother I got home a little after 11..and that was true (non-fiction) but sometimes it was a couple of hours after 11 making it "creative non-fiction". If my mother caught me, it was an out and out…"
Jody Worsham replied to Jody Worsham's discussion Is there a semi-non-fiction group? in the group Non-fiction"Yes, I think so. I mean I know when I have something totally made up and when I have something made up based on a true incident. I just don't know what it is when I write a 98% true story with 2% exaggeration. I'll check out the sources…"
Jody Worsham replied to Jody Worsham's discussion Is there a semi-non-fiction group? in the group Non-fiction"I guess I don't know what fiction techniques are. The "non" part is what always stopped me when considering submitting something in the creative non-fiction category even though what I write is true, mostly. Looks like I'm going…"
Jody Worsham replied to Jody Worsham's discussion Is there a semi-non-fiction group? in the group Non-fiction"I thought all fiction writing had to be creative. I mean, you are creating the story. How could you write a fiction piece that was true? If it were true, it wouldn't be fiction. I need some chocolate."
Jody Worsham replied to Jody Worsham's discussion Is there a semi-non-fiction group? in the group Non-fiction"I think I get bogged down when there isn't a category for humor. What I write is based on truh, it really happened but I exaggerate in places and attribute lines that weren't actually said. Being a honest person at heart, I don't want…"
jeff herman replied to Jody Worsham's discussion Is there a semi-non-fiction group? in the group Non-fiction"Speaking as an agent, if you have to over-explain a category, then you have a problem, which can also be an opportunity. Under current structures, everything is either fiction or non-fiction, even when not exactly either. When you jump beyond set…"

Jody Worsham
I began writing when, at the age 61, I found myself once again in the role of mother to my one-day-old grandson and my three-year-old granddaughter. Writing was cheaper than therapy, wine or drugs, legal, and no hang-over. As I made a giant U-turn in the middle of life's highway, I found myself laughing...out loud...a lot. Who knew? Your golden years really are the best years, even if I am spending them under the Golden Arches!
