A Blog as Creative Writing, not a News Report


It's a good day to publish this reminder: this blog is work of creative writing. It's not meant to be factual or accurate. It's a place where a writer can play with words, make connections, and explore ideas. A blogger can cultivate an alter ego, a poetic voice, or a case study.

I make no claims to writing from any single source or perspective.

Many moons ago I was told that I'd insulted someone here.

This person, I believe, imagined seeing herself in a story, although her name wasn't used and the scenario was imaginary.

A blogger is allowed to imagine and explore. I don't however, believe that we should point fingers, name names, or infringe on other's privacy.

Still, I sincerely apologize if I made an insulting remark or published something that was inappropriate.

I'm reminded of an article I read yesterday in The Huffington Post, "The Top five Most Preposterous Things in The Desolation of Smaug." The author (critic) thought that the director had taken too much liberty with this and that scene or character.

Where is our acceptance of creativity?
