I had a one on one session with another writer/editor a while back, and they asked me what the point of my story was. I thought that was a peculiar question. What is the point of anything? I guess in the case of the story in question, it's to draw attention to the harm caused by expansion for expansion's sake. About what climate refugees are going through. About the ongoing destruction of land and water. And about loneliness. Also, to entertain. And on a more personal level, to explore how I think about climate catastrophe and extinction. #Writing #WritingCommunity
