This is not a listicle. I’m going to make you work.

One of my editors has proclaimed he will not accept articles of doom and gloom that do not offer solutions. So here we are, 50 ideas that need positive solutions and good stories

Your job, should you accept it, is to guide my future articles by indicating which topics interest you the most. If I leave it to my subsonic writing pace and proclivity to research instead of writing, it might take me a year to get there. By then I would have been blown off course or decided to write romantic fiction about kittens. (I bet it pays better too.) Porn is even better, but I can’t stand the stuff.

Highlight part of the item title of anything you think I should write about. Medium keeps track, so I don’t have to overextend my counting ability. Don’t tax yourself. This should be fun.

Comments are valuable in this endeavor. For any given item at least one of you knows a hell of a lot more than I do. I will reward you by copying your ideas, maybe even with attribution.

Works in Progress

These are stories that I am working my way through. You can vote on their priority or nominate others to take precedence.
