11.45: Elemental Issue, with Desiree Burch
b'For November, our elemental genre is "Issue," and we were joined by actor, writer, and comedian\\xa0Desiree Burch. The Elemental Issue is similar to the Elemental Idea, but the type of idea being explored is a point of social\\xa0conflict, like racism, teen pregnancy, or corporate greed. Authors writing Elemental Issue stories raise questions for the readers.
\\n
\\nWe talk about how to go about writing these without sounding preachy, and without writing polemics.
\\n
\\nSoundbite Moment: "The more specific a work gets, the more broadly it relates to other people." \\u2014Desiree Burch
