Be Caused

Do you have a passion or a cause you care about? If so, you can add an air of realism to your storytelling and let your passion show by finding a way to include it in your novel. It doesn't have to be the focus of the novel; you can keep the message subtle and still have it be effective. A puppy rescued from a puppy mill, a pile of dead bees or a person who goes around picking up trash on the beach might heighten your readers' awareness of a cause you love without you having to mention the cause outright.

I care about the plight of people in difficult situations. It's why I included double locked doors, boarded up windows, high security, and fearful workers in "Murder at Yarn Mansion" and did not make the significance of these things clear until the ending. I wanted the reader to be shocked at what was happening right under their noses, just like it happens to occur in real life. ​

I know that fighting for what you believe nowadays can be hard and expensive, but we need to stand up for our principles. This quote from Bob Marley is something that we should believe on! God gave us the freedom in all aspects to duo what is right; I guess, we should always practice that and make sure that we are no the right side. As long as God is with you, you don't have anything to fear about.
