tbh, non-fiction can definitely qualify as creative writing, and anyone who thinks otherwise should probably just try it. making “boring” shit interesting for the general public is what science journalists do for a living (myself included), and I think it makes my fiction-writing stronger by extension… so, if you’re feeling stuck on your WIP today, pick a current event — preferably one that you think more people should care about but is difficult to understand for the average person — and write something compelling about it. the power of persuasion is so prominent in non-fiction writing, and I sometimes think folks writing fiction forget that it can be a powerful tool in a short story or a novel, too.
