NM Writing Journey and New Beginnings Completing Degree and New Career

Hello, everyone! 

I decided to express my gratitude to all! These days, writing has not occupied a great part of my life, but other studies have been a big part.  Back in 2024, I returned to a university in my hometown after a 25-year absence! I completed my bachelor of arts degree in multi-disciplinary studies the same year. 

Before my return to school, for many years, I dedicated all my work to writing and speaking personally and professionally by expressing myself through many nonfiction books and speaking engagements while helping others with their family legacy projects and business support. 

My freelance writing continues along with my fresh career path in 2025. As for now, I am in academic training to become an organizational leader. The path ahead brings me great enthusiasm because I plan to use my writing skills together with my leadership abilities to motivate others. I am deeply thankful to everyone who has backed me throughout the years. Your support through shares and likes together with your subscriptions has given me greater motivation than you can imagine! 

My dedication remains focused on helping people through their faith journey while delivering knowledge from this new phase of life. I will maintain periodic updates about my current work and will share additional information throughout this journey. Your support means everything to me, as you have been part of my life's narrative. 

Blessings to you, 

Nicholl

Tips on Writing Creative Nonfiction Stories and Feature Articles by Nicholl McGuire

If you're thinking about writing a creative nonfiction story or article, there are a few things you should keep in mind. 

First, your piece should focus on true events. This means that you'll need to do some research to make sure your facts are accurate. However, don't let the research process overwhelm you – remember that you're telling a story, so the most important thing is to keep your reader engaged. You can see an example of this when you read my work, “Say Goodbye to Dad” which has a variety of experiences fatherless daughters and sons have incurred but also there is research to explain personality disorders and unhealthy relationships.

Second, while it's important to stay true to the facts, don't be afraid to inject some creativity into your writing. After all, the whole point of creative nonfiction is to tell a fascinating story that will captivate your readers. So don't be afraid to use literary devices like similes and metaphors to bring your story to life. This had been done in my poetry anthologies: “Floral Beauty on a Dead-End Street”, “Laboring to Love an Abusive Mate,” “Laboring to Love Myself”, and “Spiritual Poems by Nicholl.”

Third, make sure you have a clear focus. creative nonfiction stories and articles can be about any topic, but they should always have a central theme or message. Once you've decided what you want to write about, brainstorm some ideas and think about the best way to structure your piece.

Finally, don't forget to edit and proofread your work before you publish it. Even the most well-written story will benefit from being read aloud and from a second pair of eyes – so ask a friend or family member to read over your piece before you hit "publish." By following these tips, you can be sure that your creative nonfiction story or article will be captivating and enjoyable for readers.
