"Hunger Games" is real and you are living in the capital. There are conspiracies underway: one of which will destroy your way of life, the other to keep you from having to worry about it. What would you do? Would you ignore such rumors, the people around you are so frivolous they never talk about things of real value anyway? Would you help crush the rebellion that threatens the very lively hood that your life depends on? Or would you risk your life to help people you barely know and in the process ruin your life as well as the lives of your family and friends?
I think this sounds like an incredibly exciting story. Unfortunately edits are going rather slowly, it's taking me one heck of a long time to learn how to write well. But I can easily see now why there are so terribly many mediocre books. Learning how to rise up above that is also an incredible story, with one heck of a lot of boring details.
Perhaps if I posted a lot of political propaganda showing the trivial nature of our "Capital" and all that goes on to distract us from the real problems. There are problems of people starving, struggling for any sort of livelihood, people dying that you personally could help, if you only knew that you could help. Or perhaps if I shocked you in other ways, I could grab your attention, make you sit down and listen (or read). And if I did, could I then say that I've made a difference. While that might be the kind of book I'd like to write, I would also like to make it accessible -- something everyone could read. I don't know if that would make more of impact or not.
But even if it didn't make more of an impact, if it sold incredibly well then I could use that money to make a difference (if I knew how). If I could learn how to spend my money so that I'm not just another self-centered citizen of this "Capital" I imagine exists.
Help me. Be my co-conspirators in changing this world of ours. Help me on this crusade, this jihad, not to conquer those of differing beliefs, but rather embrace them. Let us join the world, bind it together, seal it up in love. It's an amazing dream, but I think that as I learn to communicate better, I might be better positioned to achieve that outlandish goal.
