What is the ideal world? Conversations about ideals are thorny affairs for the fact that they vary wildly from one person to the next, and from one community or group to the other. That's before we hit the brick wall of the ideal being exactly that. Nothing ever materializes into or measures up to the ideal. Especially not an entire ecosystem or world. 

That said, a few things would make for better conditions for writers to thrive.

Firstly, freedom of speech and expression without undue negative repercussions. This is guaranteed in the legal frameworks of most countries, at least in theory. However, the reality is often vastly different and a writer can well find themselves ostracized and publicly ridiculed if their thoughts and/or output do not align with the prevalent thoughts of the time. Worse still, the writer may get embroiled in legal issues and face extended persecution for their work. Dele Giwa was infamously sent to the pearly gates by an explosive parcel delivered to his private premises. The years leading up to the present day are littered with the persecution of writers by governments, and even the public when their opinions don't pattern perfectly with those of the public. This deadens the originality and literary integrity of writers as they are constantly censoring themselves in their work. The aspects of solving this problem are multifaceted and do not easily fit into this short note, and we will leave those for a future conversation.

Writers will also benefit immensely from dedicated communities that can be virtual or physical. It is true that a subset of writers thrive in isolation and would rather be alone than have their trains of thought interrupted by constant contact with others. However, a great many writers would appreciate and thrive in communities of like-minded individuals who provide opportunities for collaboration, skill honing, human connection, and even as a source of inspiration.

Many measures can be enacted to provide great conditions for writers, and the above two are a great starting point.
