Marilyn?

Despite being off of social media, I am still consumed by the constant events circulating in my country. 

I can't decide if I want A neighbor to Blue to have political aspects or not. 

The election just happened, and I have an itch to write about it, but I am also tired of it. I am tired of reading about tragedy and injustice every second of every day, I am tired of hoping that those I love do not share the same views as these radical bigots. I am tired of wondering how many children next door are suffering due to these godforsaken Executive orders. 

If I hear "executive order" again I will scream. 

And at the same time, what if that is what the audience needs? It doesn't have to be on the nose. 

How do I find a way to say what I want to say without saying it at all, but instead guide the reader to the idea? 

What do I want say? 

Protect all humans? Protect Children? There is only 1 enemy (The 1%)? We are stronger together? We don't have a purpose? 

There is so much I could say. Whatever I decide to say, I have to stick with it. I have to explore it in this story and god I don't even know. 

I think I just need to start writing. 

It will develop itself in time. 

Good news though, I am closer to deciding a name for 1 of my main characters.

Marilyn.
