Howdy all! Longtime user here and Q-follower since Nov. 2, 2017, though I'm not an autist and don't post much.
I wonder if you'd be willing to weigh in on a couple of things that have been on my mind for awhile, particularly if you're a reader, and/or you have or know kids of your own.
To begin, I'm a writer working on my first novel, a cheerful and timely tale about what happens when a group of middle-school-age young patriots discover that someone is trying to buy up all rights to the Fourth of July. My hope is for it to be a story that all Americans from age 10 or so and up can appreciate and maybe be a bit inspired by. It will definitely be very MAGA-friendly!
Watching PDJT's Bronx rally last night inspired me so much because it showed up the positive, can-do American spirit so many of us decent folks, even in the most unexpected places, carry within us, even through some pretty dark times the past few years. That's a big part of what this story I'm writing is for.
So my questions to you frens are:
Do you think that a story like this would appeal to the young adults you know? If so, what do you think they would like to see included in the story?
Do you know of any similarly themed young-adult stories out there nowadays, appealing to MAGA types? If so, could you give some details?
And finally, do you think that young-adult stories like this could be valuable in connecting with the younger generations to help build a better future for America and for the world?
Thanks very much for any thoughts you'd care to share! Cheers.
EDIT TO ADD: Wow, thank you so much to all who've replied so quickly and with such great tips and thoughts! Your input is a real motivator for me to keep at it and get the story done! Please keep the responses coming anytime. :~)
you're welcome! love to help if I'm fairly proficient in something. definitely not someone you would ask about sports or card games🤡
have you been on the sightseeing tours? we were thinking about a homeschool field trip, but after driving in Milwaukee I don't know if I could handle it.
Actually I used to give tours there and elsewhere. :~) So message me if you're thinking about going. It's been quite awhile, but I'd be happy to offer some general tips and tricks.
yes, I'll remember that, we like simple... example of what we're used to on vacation🐸 https://youtu.be/Y09TOJTUwBw?
would be helpful to be able to ask a few questions/how to avoid traffic/crowds:)
Kek! I doubt you'll find much peace cruising the highways around D.C.
Does GA.win have a private message functionality? Don't want to clog up this thread, but am happy to help. One thing I'd recommend is traveling there in October through mid-November, when crowds are smaller but weather is generally good.
yes I'm sure it will be much different! why I must overplan the route/try to find less traveled roads👽 and there's a way to message, so I'll use that when we get closer to fall. working on maybe going to the RNC this summer, so that's A lot to consider. couldn't believe All the Wisconsin roundabouts. was a relief to get back across Mississippi.
