Sam Sykes (a won­der­ful writer who you should check out, and a client of mine) takes on an edi­to­r­ial by Bryan Thomas Schmidt that seems to be say­ing, among other things, that we should be writ­ing sto­ries with more morally upright char­ac­ters.  The quote from the arti­cle of dis­cus­sion that made me nod in agree­ment with Sam was:

What kind of future are we posit­ing for our chil­dren? What kind of heroes are we offer­ing them as role mod­els? Don’t we have a respon­si­bil­ity to do better?

Sam’s response, in my opin­ion, is spot-​​on:

A writer has one respon­si­bil­ity: to tell her or his story.

It gets bet­ter from there.
