Has anyone considered making a no adjectives/adverbs contest?
northernwrites All good points, I was just asking because I saw an instagram contest by a ghost writer(@robynleewrites) about this and I thought it looked interesting.
*Sigh* Okay guys so there's this story I've been working on and it's been growing a ton which I'm really happy about. But sadly it's to big for it's crib so now I'm making a part 4. I really appreciate all of the people who have helped me on this story, you have all given your honest opinions on it and I'm super grateful. So this is what I have finished:

Thoughts on writing a character that's unstable but also wise?
*crickets*
Recently, I've been trying to think more about theme when I'm writing and how it connects to the other parts of my stories. So how do you choose your themes when writing and how do you connect it with the story and characters? Any other thoughts?

Hey,Tinman. Just my own thoughts.
         I think of theme as meta-text, a concept which forms in the mind of the reader. The theme element of meta-text emerges from the interactions of characters within the framework of the plot. When I want to elicit consciousness of a distinct theme within the stream of my reader's thinking, I can adjust the composition of my characters or the situation which drives the plot, or the setting.
         I start with theme only when I want to write an essay.
I've added a new item to my portfolio:
