-- Every
artist has his or her own themes or messages to deliver. They're trying
to say something. And even though every project they create and take on
can be drastically different, if you look closely, there are always
threads; through-lines into that person and their head and their soul.
Being the narcissist that I am, I looked at the books I've written to see if I could find a common thread. And
I did. It's an ironic one, and if you actually know me as a human being
in real life, it might be surprising. The biggest theme that I've seen
carry though my stories so far is:
Positivity.
And never giving up.
Almost all of the characters in my stories face the worst things you
could possibly face, but instead of giving up and curling into the fetal
position like I feel like I would, they keep moving. They get stronger.
They FIGHT. And I'm horribly jealous of them for that. But I'm glad
that they exist, and I'm both surprised and not-at-all by this
revelation.
And I think it's a useful tool for everyone to use.
To look at their own lives and find the through-line; to rediscover
what's important and what drives you.
Because I'm glad I did.
