How often it feels like you’re turning a wrong into a right, with stories. Turning a mistake or an injustice, into something that feels like it was meant to be. Turning a problem into a solution.

This is ultimately what a story is made up of: conflict, tension – wrongness, things going wrong for the protagonist, and a struggle to make things right, or it may be something that doesn’t quite make sense in the beginning, a mystery to be solved, and that’s the form of “wrongness” that is to be righted.
