1 Corinthians 6:19
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is
in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
Stories are about
relationships. Nonfiction articles and essays are about the readers’
relationship to the subject—why they should bother to read our piece and what’s
in it for them.
Fiction is defined by
relationships. Romances are stories about a man and a woman falling in love,
science fiction is about humans and their relationships to science and
machines.
Even the starkest adventure story about one person surviving against nature is about the relationship of the main character with herself and her enemy, whatever she is up against and must survive. Relationships must exist to move a story forward as protagonist, allies, mentors, and love interest confront the antagonist and the danger represented.
