I am answering without having read the other comments or your answer.<br /><br />I would guess #1 is fiction and #2 is non-fiction. Why? #2 seemed tighter, less description and more flow of the story.<br /><br />Now, I'll check and see what you said.Warren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-1264566486899238702010-06-13T18:19:58.607-05:002010-06-13T18:19:58.607-05:00I didn't get back here in time to record my gu...I didn't get back here in time to record my guess, but I'm feeling sassy now because I would have been right. ;)<br /><br />I write both and don't really have a favourite. I've had magazine articles published over the past ten years, so tend to think I'm probably better at writing non-fiction, but I sure do love dabbling in make-believe worlds.<br /><br />Blessings to you,<br />CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-35335390050148412372010-06-10T14:59:39.913-05:002010-06-10T14:59:39.913-05:00I am too spacy today to make a choice but will say...I am too spacy today to make a choice but will say this:<br /><br />Your nonfiction packs enough oomph to BE fiction.

I have no idea, but that is my guess!<br /><br />I've never written non-fiction, other than an article or two for a church bulletin.
