Some Ideas: Post a tale of the time you stood up to a bully, the story of how you decided to finally go through with that divorce, a sketch of a lawyer faced with defending a man he knows is guilty of murder, an essay on the place and nature of truth in fiction.
I posted my own essay on action and ethics: How Gather Members can use their virtual pens to hijack the media and change the world. Read it and join the revolution!
I will read and offer comment on every piece posted to the Writing Essential on Thursdays, and will post two articles later in the day showcasing today's submissions. I look forward to reviewing your work.

My defining moment re moral courage was when I, as a fresher at a hostel, as asked to push a pea across a piece of lawn with my nose.
I refused and was beaten up by 8 seniors. That pea remained where it was but I moved on. My courage gave me a sense of pride that I never lost.
