This is such an interesting question to tackle, Brent. As a writer, I feel an instinctive urge to build a coherent and compelling world for my characters to move in, and at the same time, there’s always the question in the back of my mind: how might this story and this work I’m creating help? How might it point in a good direction? How might it create a sense of possibility or hope in the reader? While my primary purpose is to entertain, there’s a definite secondary purpose that can be answered in how the characters move through their world, what they say and how they respond to challenges.
