Hey! I wish I could sit on a roof… that sounds like heaven. So long as it’s cool out.

Now! I read all of what you said, and do agree. And I acknowledge 🙂

On your last question, I do have something to add… So as to what truth we portray, whatever it is it is a reflection of the truth of God, so long as it is truth. We are not under any pressure to create anything new, merely see it under a different looking glass. That is something I find helpful to remember.

Secondly, I believe in writing a story that serves the purpose of ending on a sad and depressing note, to show the depravity of man, and or the sadness of man’s fall. That is an example of an extreme.

Ah! Glad to hear back from you! And I agree with all the replies you made (imagine that 😉 )!

I don’t have a problem with the term theme, so long as it’s used correctly. And it’s something that if I’m working with someone that seems to be tripping over it, I’m fine with throwing it away. This is a trick used in many areas of teaching, even something as physical and tangible as martial arts. Because people think and work through association. And my job as the teacher is to communicate in such a way that I clearly teach what I’m trying, by understanding people’s reactions to things. And by reworking how I speak by the associations that I see them making.
