QUESTION:
Theme is a scary word for most writers. What is your take?
Question provided by author:
Katrina Nicola
Scary - naw. I look at them as a challenge. I've written a couple different novellas that are themed stories. One, Always the Bridesmaid, was part of the Revenge is Sweet series - with revenge being the theme. (of course) I found it gave my story direction and had no issues with writing it. Writing themed books gives me a break for a bit from being the ringleader of the wacky voices in my head. Instead of saying...because I said so when they ask me why I wrote it has to be written this way, I can say because the publisher says so. Shuts them right up everytime! :D
'because the publisher says so' I love that! I'll have to use that line next time my characters get out of hand. :)
ReplyDeletehahaha! Very funny! Great post, Dakota. Now I know where to comment I'll be back more often :)
ReplyDeleteRevenge always makes for a good theme, in my opinion :)

Hey Dianne,
ReplyDeleteIt works with mine...sorta...or perhaps it's the whip and chair I have as a back up that convinces them.
Angelika,
I'm glad you figured it out. But I have to agree revenge does make a wonderful theme. I had a blast writing my "revenge" story. A good way to get all the frustrations out...lol. Thanks for stopping by...and I'll stop by yours!
