Theme is not motif

Writing stories that mean something

I have an article in Writing Magazine this month. I have only written one book, but like a sophomore, here I go publishing what I learned. Before I tried to write fiction, was a skilled non-fiction writer, like a carpenter who could build a chest of drawers, but couldn’t begin to carve a statue.

The internet is full of struggling writers trying to teach other writers what they know. So that’s great value in getting a monthly magazine of curated advice. It’s published in the UK, but I get the pdf and it’s not very expensive. They also have a great podcast called The Write Club.
