The world is a material playground often seducing flesh to dangerous distraction. Television screens can sweep the landscape like locusts devouring harvest grain. Electronic toys lead the young in a ballet of unbelievable violence. Some listen to the prophets of old and think the last days are upon us. Others turn away and judge it a trashy trend with a profitable end.
Writers know different.
They know new heroes are needed to guide the people. They know new stories must be written to inspire another generation to greater heights. They know the Earth is not the end, but merely the beginning of human exploration. They know writing not only stirs the writer's soul but the faithful readers as well. Writers know different because writers are different.
