As a contributing writer, but focused on the growth of my advertising agency, I find it a challenge to come up with time to develop a new and interesting story each day.

As we have some down time between these Olympic and Paralympic stages, I thought I would put the question to you, about what you would like to read, what are your interests or what would other wise cause your involvement?

Social media allows for a more intimate discourse between writer and reader creating the chance to advance the media with new ideas or reworked old ideas.

In his time, Charles Dickens was considered a leader in story telling with his serial novels, his first, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, which he wrote monthly for 1836 – 1837 created a ravenous audience for his stories.

As an aspiring novelist, I wonder, can we do that now? Can we do something that both interests and stimulates opinion? Can we stay with a story long enough to have its opinion impact on our social morays, direct media in how advertise in social media, change public perception or advance industry?

What do you want? Could you stay with an evolving storyline? In most media today, we do not stay with subject matter, an example being Haiti. A human tragedy of epic proportion, but already it has moved to the back pages of the media and our minds.

Like any media, social media or not, it still needs content, so again, I ask, what content do you need? I’ll be listening.

See you tomorrow,

David Hutchison
