If the reader looks, I think he will find plenty of moral and political ideas in my stories.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The reader is going to imprint on the characters he sees first. He is going to expect to see these people often, to have them figure largely into the story, possibly to care about them. Usually, this will be the protagonist.
If I've vividly laid out the narrative, the reader will come to his own conclusions.
I like the idea of young readers using my stories as a sort of moral gym, where they can flex and develop their newly developed moral muscle.
The reader deserves an honest opinion. If he doesn't deserve it, give it to him anyhow.
Expressing political opinion can be a powerful way to establish a character's voice when writing fiction.
Every man should follow the bent of his nature in art and letters, always provided that he does not offend against the rules of morality and good taste.
Readers will stay with an author, no matter what the variations in style and genre, as long as they get that sense of story, of character, of empathetic involvement.
One thing you really have to watch as a writer is getting on a soapbox or pulpit about anything. You don't want to alienate readers.
As a writer, I have readers who will have a range of political views. I don't think they look to me for political guidance.
I'm interested in telling the character's story, not my beliefs, political or otherwise.
