Most stories in the current culture you describe are conflict based. Since humans are storytellers we can shift this model to one that is feeling based. As a screenwriter and playwright, I’ve committed to crafting stories that eschew the one structure that Hollywood holds dear - the hero’s journey (mostly misinterpreted). It’s a mindset in Hollywood that feeling based stories don’t sell because there conflict is king. I think your writing is proof that a shift is possible. Your readership is growing. People CRAVE different stories!
