They're all true.
None of the names have been changed to protect the innocent, because no one was ever really innocent.
Notes, comments about writing and memoir. I've been working on a collection of non-fiction short stories about gay life in the 1970s. AOL dropped the Hometown feature where these stories once resided, so I'm posting the ongoing collection here. There are 16 completed works and two more I've been working on. So you'll need to scroll down and read them in reverse order (they are arranged chronologically.)
About Me
- Ethan
- Eight years ago I had a short story published, about my coming out in the early 1970s. This has led to several other true-life stories that I'm compiling for an eventual book. This journal reflects that creative process, along with other thoughts. Comments welcomed.
