I seem to have a dozen, lol! And that's my goal. I have a variety of things. :) One of them is 'Why does Saar/Aari [God] let bad things happen?' That's pretty common, I suppose. Others abound. :)Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013859345463250479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970703367799585001.post-8777191399108362142010-09-23T06:27:45.012-07:002010-09-23T06:27:45.012-07:00Great post!

It always bugs me when my English classes say that Shakespeare meant this and this and this and that such and such was put in secretly and means something else *gah!*. Sometimes I find myself wondering whether people are just reading more into his work than he actually meant. It does get a little bothersome lol :P <br /><br />As for themes in my own story, well, it's only 2 chapters in and I haven't quite got a ton down (only about 8000 words) so I don't see the themes just yet :P Well, actually, one of them is loyalty...<br /><br />Squeaks.Mackenzie A.
