Historical Ficton // Creative Non-fiction

I have a new writing project that's been taking up my time. It's not even a little bit poetry but it might include some poetry. It's to be in the style of Michael Ondaatje's The Collected Works of Billy the Kid mixed with Stephen King mixed with a history book. It's proven to be relatively emotionally disturbing so far so...that's a good thing?

The main character is a town and based off the town I currently live in but am suddenly moving away from in 30 days. I did not know I'd be moving when the inspiration hit and I got pretty deep into things. Furthermore, the places I'd like to sit and think, and the people I'd like to talk to for fodder, I have no time for since you know, packing and moving.

Sigh.
