This is a repost from the blog by Chuck Wendig, terribleminds.com. It is only an excerpt from a much larger post entitled: "25 Writer Resolutions For 2013". I felt for the creative nonfiction genre that this specific resolution from the article was particularly good.
"Thing is, we write stories for one reason: to talk about people. And we read stories because we want to read about people. Every story is a Rosetta Stone attempting to translate the human condition to the humans gazing upon it with knitted-brow and quizzical sneer. When we as writers drift away from that, we lose what's powerful about stories: we lose the character. Stories are written by people, for people, about people."
