We explore figuring out a theme, keeping perspective on it and how it may take a life of its own. POINT #1: "HAVE A THEME, BUT DON'T MARRY IT" -It's great to start with a theme but by the time your done your first draft you may find it's become something far more potent. Now rewrite! POINT #2: "DON'T GET STUCK ON AN IDEA" -Remain open to inspiration as it comes. It may mean completely changing some of your concepts but it may also reveal treasures you never thought of. POINT #3: "LET IT BE DONE EVENTUALLY" -You can retool your story until the day you die, eventually you have to put it out there and move on.
