Too Good Not To Share (or “Why I Write Nonfiction”)

This happened a moment ago:

me: (sitting in my chair at the A/R desk)
Naval Recruiting Officer (NRO): Hey, you look like you’re, what, maybe 18? Already stuck here in this dead-end job? You ever think about signing up?
me: (fall off my chair in fits of laughter. Somewhere, the gasped words “twenty….five….year…old…faggot…” escaped my mouth, but by then he had mostly walked away.)

This is why I love writing nonfiction, folks. Life is so much more creative and funny than I could ever dream of being.

Writer, Everyday
