"When You Are Content Not To Compare or Compete..."

What matters in writing? Does one genre have more value than another?

I was recently on a writer’s retreat, and one of the awesome women attending was well-versed in non-fiction. Writing and marketing a non-fiction title is very different from the fiction process, so I was interested to hear how she and her team go about it.

After one of our break discussions, I was sitting around procrastinating — ahem, sometimes it’s hard to drag yourself from fascinating conversations back to the page, and it’s better to do some work instead of staring out the window at the gorgeous scenery, so that’s why I was writing a blog instead of my book — but I digress. I was really more thinking than procrastinating, and the most wonderful idea came to me. 

What if *I* wrote non-fiction?
