Hi,

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I am, just sitting here thinking about writing. I am just wondering, In my struggle to improve my writing, I have heard and read a lot about themes and theme statements. I know that each book has one, but does an author dwell on that a lot before beginning to write or does the theme just kind fall into place.

I know that when I get an idea and go for it, I am not trying to teach anything, just trying to entertain. When I buy a book, I am looking for a great story and not an opinion on love vs. hate, good vs. evil etc. etc.. But it does have to pass the sniff test.
AAAHHH Hmmmm! Will have to share that .one with you.

I guess what I want to know is the theme picked first or does it just fall into place.
