Lesson I: Theme, Narrative and Atmosphere
in A Quick Guide to Storytelling
A blog by pepertje
Posted
Nicely written but already talking about themes in Part 1?
I'm not denying the importance of a strong theme but a theme should arise naturally from a strong conflict. You can't just choose it as you can't just choose an atmosphere.
I think before choosing a theme it's important to understand where does plot come from and how conflict is created. Themes are important but they can't drive a plot by their own.
I don't see blogs like this often enough on this website so I'm looking forward for the next chapter.
