Blog #3: CNF
I find Creative Nonfiction appealing because it is freedom of expressing face through your own words. It keeps readers engaged in the writing and even makes them relate to it because of the way the information is presented. When reading texts that are in creative nonfiction genre I feel as if I get to learn who the writer is as a person. I find that I enjoy reading Personal Essays. Personal Essays focus on the "here and now" but can also bring up flashbacks into the past. I like the little glimpse into the characters past. Those glimpse help you as a reader understand why and what the character is experiencing. In a way it is similar to a memoir but then it isn't because it's focused on the present. My writing preference would be Narrative Journalism because it allows me to report on a topic through my own words. It's more then giving facts, it's giving the readers your view on the topic. You get to recreate your experience for others to enjoy.

The way you refer to the CNF writer as a character is really interesting to me. I've never really thought of the writer/narrator as a character because of the factual nature of CNF, but it makes a lot of sense. In the end I guess every person is a character in their own life-narrative.
