					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://diymfa.com/podcast/episode-36-writer-igniter-anthology/#comment-1800&quot;&gt;Trudy&lt;/a&gt;.

Great point, Trudy! Since I don&#039;t write much non-fiction (aside from DIY MFA but that&#039;s a different type of non-fiction) it hadn&#039;t really occurred to me that the Writer Igniter would be so limiting to creative non-fiction writers. I can&#039;t speak for the other people on the editorial team, but as far as I&#039;m concerned I&#039;ll say this: as long as a piece fits the theme and the writing grabs me, I&#039;d be willing to interpret a prompt a bit more loosely in favor of excellent writing. The challenge, as you say, is to use the prompt generator. We&#039;d like to see people use it and see the creative fruits that come from the app. But how closely writers stick with the prompt they get is a different story. Personally, I&#039;m willing to leave room for interpretation. Any thoughts, fellow editors?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The only concern I have is that for nonfiction writers,it seems a bit impossible to weave the random elements of &#039;writer igniter&#039; into the story in a truthful manner. For example, last time I got something to do with alien abuduction,a  game show host, and a last will and testament..and a riviera. I think it would be much easier to make a great fiction piece, but not so much an essay. Or perhaps that IS the challenge...my brain hurts.  Nevermind.]]></description>
