LIA Cast 79 - Thinking About Your Theme w/Guest Brandon Dayton
Jerzy and Rob are joined by special guest, Brandon Dayton. After exploring a curveball about finding compatible creative associates, collaborators, and friends we delve into our main topic: STORY THEME.
Theme is a storyteller's tool. Every story with a theme is going to reveal some essence about living as expressed by the story's author. We explore theme, where it comes from, and questions like: How do you know if you've found your theme? When you have a theme - how do you know if the elements of your story are conveying or working with your theme?
