Over at the Catholic Writers Guild, I tell the story of my little foray into fiction (here) last week, and argue that everyone ought to be so brave. Not because you’ll necessarily be any good at the stuff you don’t do, but because it will be good for you.
Also, PSA: If you are a member of the CWG, we accept guest posts. Perfect place for that orphaned essay, poem or bit of flash-fiction you couldn’t possibly submit anywhere else.
