<p>Great question haha!

<p>I&#8217;d never heard of literary fiction before, but the definition I found on the web says that it is character driven instead of plot driven, which sounds so cool! I recently wrote something that was kind of like that (although it was also kind of sci-fi) and I&#8217;d love to write more in that genre.

<p>I think this is supposed to be visual art… but opera has a visual element to it. We just call it 4D (time-based) art. Besides, painting &amp; drawing are often involved in the planning &amp; set-up.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t seen an opera show before, but I used to go to local plays &amp; musicals. I may not have a lot of experience, but I enjoy the art c&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-102194"><a href="https://storyembers.org/forums/topic/is-opera-art/#post-151667" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>That is very encouraging.  I am becoming increasingly alarmed by the serious attention given to the &#8220;transhumanism&#8221; movement that is taking over our youth cultures who are abandoning faith and moral and foundational traditions that have stabilized communities.
