What if?
Imagine if you will...that the character you are writing about is really you. That you are your main character-or protagonist to use the jargon-what if your story was true?
That is how you write good fiction.
Now, imagine if you will that you can help inspire someone who wants to write; that you can raise their confidence level and sense of value; that you can help convince them that what they are trying to accomplish is important.
Would you do it? Would you just walk on by pretending you did not see them on the street? Would you just keep scrolling on Facebook?
Imagine if you will, a world where the norm is to help rather than criticize; where we do not have to be on the brink of annihilation before we take action; where a smile can change someone's life and a pat on the back is worth its weight in gold.
What if we could create that world one story at a time?
