My city is having an MLK Jr writing contest and the topic is “HOPE DRAWS US INTO THE FUTURE; FAITH SUSTAINS US IN THE FUTURE" and I need ideas for a topic. Could you help me?
Michael Grant
I'm probably the wrong guy to ask since I don't do faith. I'm all for hope but faith, in the words of Ambrose Bierce, is "Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.” Or in my simpler style: b.s.
That said many great men and women did have faith, including obviously MLK. But honestly after November 8, 2016, I have very little good to say about the human race or its prospects for the future. I had been making a genuine effort to not be cynical or misanthropic, but election day slapped that right out of me. I wasn't too cynical, I wasn't cynical enough.

Michael Grant:
I am very interested in having one of my (yes, unpublished!) novels converted to graphic novel format. Have read a lot of great articles on the subject but wondered if you have had any experience with this (sorry, don't believe I've seen GNs of the Gone series so you might not). What suggestions might you have for where to begin converting to more of a script format? Books you recommend? Websites etc?
