Hey E Lo … I accidentally deleted your pithy comment from my post. Can you re-post?

Just sum it up in one nice truthful sentence: “I can write nonfiction better than most people can write fiction.” And then push em’ down a flight of stairs.

you should tell people its because you are not afraid to face reality, which imo, just from reading your blog this seems to be true…the best fiction writers always have this chaotic screwed up life they wish to forget, change, or run away from, if you will, these scared little creatures…I think contentment makes it more difficult to fantasize and this is the difference between fiction and non-fiction…ewww, did I just rant on your blog, gawd I’m turning into a byrd…later

I like the idea of non-fiction because it automatically has credibility that fiction lacks. When it’s good, it’s better than fiction. I can see you writing longer pieces for the New Yorker too. It’s the first thing I thought.
