[stylist] Comments on Another story

[BridgiT Pollpeter]

Chris,

I say masculine- not sure why. You have such a clean way of writing.
It's concise and not loaded with fluff- something I have to work on!
Smile. I don't necessarily mean masculine in terms of male or female,
but in a more metaphorical and philosophical way. You have such clear
images, and your voice is consistent. So you like Kerouac? I can see
that influence.

I would define this as creative nonfiction. It may not be about events
that happened in reality, but it's a reflection of who you are. And you
explain in the end that the previous events may not have really
happened, which allows you to call it creative nonfiction. Writing like
this borders on the experimental side of creative nonfiction focusing on
the creative part, and though the actual event may not have happened,
it's about a philosophical experience affecting you. So much of
nonfiction is aBout perspective, which varies from person to person.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Thanks to those who took the time to read and comment on my story. Some 
parts are autobiographical, some parts are embellishments, and some
parts 
are fictional. I believe all human beings are flawed, and hence all of
my 
major characters are flawed as well. Hemingway, eh? I've certainly been 
compared to worse, so thanks. I'll try to show off my feminine side in
my 
next installment.
