As you look at the current book you’re writing, do you see strong themes showing up? Can you see them in previous books you’ve written or read? In this fun conversation with Angela Terry, we talked about how one particular theme started showing up in her writing and what she did to hone it even more. We also talked about the fact that part of what makes a good story is that it has relatable characters. Characters that grow and change because of what they’ve been through or that they can sit in the gray area, so I enjoyed how Angela talked about the way she blending her theme and characters and can’t wait to hear what comes up for you after you listen.
