I hope you will also realize that you don’t have to only teach facts. Consider the entire spectrum of what it means to be human. Who’s to say we’re not more emotional, that feelings aren’t more important to us, than being continually logical. Of course each has its place and each individual varies in mental and emotional composition, but don’t err on either extreme side of the spectrum.
Provide some new information. Give us some information in a new way, with a new perspective. Show us both sides of your coin. Contradict yourself if you’d like (but don’t confuse anyone! Only break this rule if you want to point out that there is more than one valid viewpoint). Share an experience (real or fiction) in such depth that we understand how it would have felt to have really been there, to have been an actual participant.
You may as well accept this fact: we are all teachers.
We teach each other and ourselves practically every moment of the day. We teach each other how the world is by the way we look at each other, the way we behave in traffic, the way we spend our time. Our actions—including those we thought were invisible—teach very clear and cogent lessons about our attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, hopes, dreams, and wishes. We mirror one another and determine, to a large extent, what our world will be.
I hope you will become more aware of what it is that you teach, and I hope you will make conscious choices to teach positive things like a love of learning, tolerance, forgiveness, patience, hope, growth, and whatever else you value.
And I hope that your multi-genre will reflect some thinking about what readers would be interested in hearing, and that your writing helps them to apply it to their lives, to make use of your information and stories, and to enjoy reading it.
