To Anyone Who Has the Heart to Care About This Pressing Issue

Hi!  bookhouse4 here!  Just wanted to touch on a subject that has been bugging me for a while.  If you can answer my questions, five stars and a trophy.  Leave answers and ideas in the comments under this post.  These are hard questions.  Some make sense, others do not.


Okay.  Here we go.

Question 1
Is it possible to reach tomorrow?  To touch it and to see?  To say "I'm standing in tomorrow" and not "I want to be"?  Can you reach back into yesterday?  Is it ever even real?  Can you live sometime other than "Present", like Future, Past, or Might Be?

Think about it: are you ever truly in tomorrow?

Question 2
Why do we dream?

Come on.  I know you're wondering.  What's up with the crazy dreams you have every night?

Question 3
What is "myth"?

Have you ever considered it?  Dragons and unicorns are supposed "myth", but if dragons aren't/weren't real, then why do so many cultures claim to have seen dragons?

Question 4
Is there a certain age you have to be to publish a book?  Is there discrimination against younger people publishing?

Question 5
When is a piece of writing "good"?  When is it "bad"?  What makes a piece of writing - story, poem, whatever - "excellent"?

Why are some people good at writing and others bad?  

Ask yourself this: Do you know when writing is good or bad?  Are you good at writing or bad?  You don't have to answer these last two questions in the comments.  Just really think about them.

I'll be back with more questions soon.  Right now, I leave you to puzzle over these and maybe do some research.

    I think this topic may be slightly above my head. I have to do a bit of guessing on what you may actually be satirizing. Here are my guesses:

    1. How questions like these aren't actually important or that they distract from answers?
    2. That we spend to much time on questions and not enough on answers?
    3. That people leaving comments on stuff seems to be the whole point of the Internet.

    I'm not 100% sure of the topic. Maybe some additional work needs to be done to bring that home. I know satire can be subtle, so perhaps I'm missing the boat. I'm not sure. I'll follow up with you tomorrow!

    Answers:
    Q1: Yes you just have to think in the terms of yesterday.
    Q2: I'm looking into that.
    Q3: A traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events.
    Q4: No, people praise young authors.
    Q5: Writing is good when it doesn't drag on and on and when it keeps the readers attention. Also some people are good at writing because they try or are born with a special gift or something.

    See these questions weren't that hard to answer just the second one, I will figure it out though.
