Reading, Writing, & Publishing Challenge . . .
So, I published a book that I hope can bring about change. It's a novel. I'm going to follow it with a collection of short stories and I hope they can induce change, too.
Some folks feel that fiction shouldn't be used to instruct or inspire or educate or enthuse. I suppose the only reaction some writers try for and some readers seek is entertainment, with heaps of shock and thrill shaken on top…
So, I thought I'd give a challenge, first, to readers: tell any writers you know about this post.
Next, a challenge for writers: conceive of a story that's meant to induce change in people's behavior; or, create a character within a story who's passion is to help folks make positive change.
Finally, a challenge for publishers: Help readers find writers who know how to inspire people, through story, to bring about needed and vital and positive change in our culture…
To help with all three challenges, watch the following video. Oh! And, if you get any bright ideas you want to share in the comments, you'll have a head start on inspiring positive change :-)
