My writing anxiety didn’t escalate until I took this class, a poetry class. Immediately, I saw myself back in Middle…

They do not however, have experience with merging fiction and non-fiction, so that is a major accomplishment goal with this piece.…

What kept me reading was the interesting story idea. I truly wish someone else had written this book. The author hit it big with her first book, Gone Girl. (Disclosure – I wasn’t that big a fan of that book but it was at least readable) I imagine her publisher pushed her to crank out the next book and the result…
