Why fiction shouldn’t get such a rough time on Medium

Medium welcomes all writers. Obey the rules, and you’re welcome to spit out any old detritus and publish. If a publication won’t touch it with a ten-foot barge pole, don’t worry, you can post it yourself.

Quality non-fiction is supposed to rule, but I believe that’s just a rumor to cover for the million versions of Side Hustles, How I Made My First Amount, and Follow These Writing Rules, posts that continue to make money every day.

The future is fiction.

Good quality fiction touches parts that poorly written non-fiction doesn’t even know exists. Fiction connects you, makes you feel, and sometimes teaches you something.

Fiction opens your mind and heart, lets you see a world beyond your existence and makes you laugh.

That is why fiction should rule.

I rest my case.
