“I have come to see that all literature is a form of travel writing [...] and whether each place we bring to the page is one we’ve seen or only imagined, we’re always speculating about its contours and customs.” speculativenonfiction.org/co…

So thrilled to see this magical essay written by Caite McNeil in my @StonecoastMFA travel workshop find its home in @specnonfic!
“This is a story born of regret over lost time and temporary loss of self. It is a travel narrative of the speculative sort, where the narrator imagines her way away from the pain and dysfunction of her reality.” speculativenonfiction.org/co…

“Speculation isn’t just a function of the future (prediction) or the past (reconstruction) but of the present (curation). Everything is always happening all at once. By writing about it you are actively choosing what to focus on.” speculativenonfiction.org/co… @gyasi_hall
“This game, Marble Solitaire, that I was drawn to play [...] defined winning as the elimination of all others from the sphere of play and measured my success as a player by how well I ended up alone.”

“For me, by speculating that Nina Simone visited me in Utah, it allowed me to think about appropriation, the history of music, [and] the persistence of cover songs..." speculativenonfiction.org/co… @Nikwalkotter

“A lot of what I remember is fragmented. Memories come to me in pieces, morsels even. Though, rather than fret over my inability to fully recollect a single moment, it gives me the chance to stitch and sew numerous memories and moments together.” speculativenonfiction.org/co… @evan
“What are the limits of introspection in a moment of crisis? How do the intersections of personal crisis and environmental crisis create rich fodder for speculation?” speculativenonfiction.org/co… @CoyoteShook

“In snatching the tool of speculation from my writer's toolbox here on the kitchen table, I've inadvertently made something raw rather than crafted.” speculativenonfiction.org/co… @bunnythedoc
“My mind naturally speculates whenever it wanders from the task at hand. I’m always in the ‘what if’ frame of mind.” speculativenonfiction.org/co… @BrendaMiller31
”A series of recurring dreams takes place in my childhood home, sometimes involving my wife and our daughter, and sometimes transplanting all of us, my wife and daughter included, to the place where we live now. Only we do not have a daughter.” speculativenonfiction.org/co…
