The Fledgling Artist replied to the topic New to Themes in the forum Themes 7 years, 2 months ago
I don’t know if this is at all helpful but The advice that’s impacted me the most in crafting themes is that, the most honest and vulnerable writing is often the most moving and powerful. Writing about the questions and struggles I myself grapple with can be uncomfortable, but it will be real. And I think that’s what all readers are…[Read more]

Interesting topic! I guess, like many things, it depends on the situation. If, say, you were inspired to start your writing project because of a bible verse or because there is a certain truth you want to share with the world, you can deliberately weave your theme in your decisions about your plot, characters, setting…[Read more]

Hello @wonderland7,
I’m also pretty new to intentionally using themes, so I’m going to sneak in and listen to what everyone has to say.
I do have a question about whether a certain piece of advice I heard is good or not: I once heard that some people don’t intentionally add a theme into the first draft. They write it first, reread the story…[Read more]

Hello Parimis! Apologies for not being around for a while, I’ve been out of the country and when I got back I found out that my mother was in hospital, so that shook things up a little. (She’s fine now, just had a moment or two that had everyone panicked.) But yes, I’m afraid that has meant I’ve been somewhat neglectant of you guys, and that is …[Read more]

So I’ve now got the actual tagging list from Jess. Apparently the one I’d found on a random recent topic wasn’t the right one and I ended up tagging some old guildlings and whoops, my bad. 😛
Anywho–great job to all those who’ve been putting effort into this! I’m going through and sorting through a lot of the comments at the moment, but it’s…[Read more]

Hello all Parimis!
Apparently I got confused at some point and your guildmaster…has not returned yet (she’ll probably be back tomorrow), so I thought I’d whip up a quick lesson for this week in her stead. (Actually, I’m cheating and I’m reusing a lesson I’ve used in my own guild–Meraki–because it also fits with your theme of pacing and…[Read more]

Hello hello Parimis!
This is your stand-in guildmaster, and I’m here to call you to arms! War has been declared once again, and we must come out with full force.
Because J.A. Penrose is away for the week, I was already half guildmastering you for this war, but since she was gone, I volunteered her (I’m her cousin, so I’m allowed to do things…[Read more]
