As for me, I was thinking about author intrusion. My bit of writerly wisdom for the day is this:
Nobody likes a preachy novel, no matter what the genre. Whether you’re trying to convert the masses or prove a political point, your agenda will feel unnatural and preachy if it makes it onto the page of your novel. Avoid taking the moral high ground to prove a point.
That’s it for me. Go. Write great things!
