Welcome the Thursday, Oct 6th  #BlogHop4Writers post! You lucky things you! This week, I’ve kept it rather short. How’s that for lucky? Â
QUESTION:Â Theme is a scary word for most writers. What is your take?Question provided by author:Â Katrina Nicola
Theme is meaning. Meaning is theme. I think we can get too bogged down with the dos and don’ts  of writing, but this one is important. Without a theme (meaning) there is no life and soul within a story. Hell, without meaning, there is no story!
There can be a whole overarching theme and a background theme, depending on what type of book you write and if it’s a series or stand-alone story. Â More is definitely not merrier in all cases though. Series themes are generally backstory. The meaning behind it all. Â And a theme is a small part of a much larger whole! It also has to carry a book from the beginning to end.
It can become all very confusing if one thinks too hard about it.  😛 But themes can generally be summed up in a handful of words.
Good will triumph over evil.I will get my revenge!True love can overcome death.My empire will survive!Â
Get the picture? “Click” Â Yep, this is my snapshot of theme.What do you think, you saucy little things, you?
What do you think about today’s #BlogHop4Writers question?
Go here and DO THE HOP for this week.
Hugs
