Writing is valueless without another's perspective and opinion!

Writing with Change in Mind

"Any form of writing can change the world. Your goal is to find the form that allows you to use every one of your talents in the service of what you consider to be your most important goals. You want to search for what you alone can say and then how you can say it most effectively."

-Mary Pipher in her book, Writing to Change the World-

This idea of writing to change the world intrigues me. Writing has done a lot of good and a lot of damage to the world. Books like Uncle Tom's Cabin and The Diary of Anne Frank as well as thing like news articles and media have made a huge impact on those who have read them for the most part.
I wish to someday write in a way that speaks to people. A way that not only holds them in place wanting to read more, but a way that causes them to think in a new way or take action that they never would have before or even just change the way they live because they have seen a new light on an old subject.

Hopefully, my writing is somewhat interesting now haha, since I do have some people that read this stuff. However, I will continue to strive to make what I write more connect-able to the world or just the little world that I happen to speak to now :)
