It's good for the environment--otherwise, the ground would be littered with stinky, sucky, rejected writing pieces.<br /><br />I also believe in recycling winning pieces. If you write a story about getting your head stuck in a sink at work because you were too cheap to pay for a shampoo at your hair salon--and it gets published in a collection of creative nonfiction--you can take the same story idea and refashion it for a fictional volume. (I make it a habit to start the "everything-old-is-new-again" piece WITHOUT the first piece in front of me. That way, I have to start fresh.)<br /><br />Yes, we have to break the rules sometimes if we plan on being ground-breakers...Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
