Countdown to NNWM 2012 − 25 Days!

25 days until the start of NNWM


I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme.

~ Henry James



Theme is the answer to your story’s question. As simple and as big as that, Nano Writer. What’s yours?

Mine's 'apocalyptic dystopian madness'. I don't think I'd have anything close to a solid story idea if I hadn't had that at the start of the month. I actually really know what I'm writing now. :D

I suspect the theme would be 'breaking down boundaries'

Well, now that I think I've changed my mind for the first time this season on what I'll write, the theme is "revenge." :D

I guess mine would be, "what happened there?" A look at the reality behind the facade presented to the public.

So my questions were

"Is a person ever more than a person?"
"Is a person ever less than a person?"
"Does Sherlock Holmes have human feelings?"
"Is it possible to imagine one's way into understanding another, and if not, is it worth trying anyway?"

which are all ways of asking about the way we imagine each other. The answers are "no" "no" "yes" and "not entirely, but yes". I think if you glom them all together into one question and answer, it has to be "how should we imagine each other?" "complexly."
