“How is topic different from theme?” This very question bubbled up while I was working on my previous Theme: A Story’s Soul post. So I figured, “Why not explore it further?” Many writers mistakenly use the terms “topic” and “theme” interchangeably, and this would be the perfect opportunity to explain how they’re different – and how topic is actually a vehicle for illustrating theme.

What do I mean by this? You’ll have to read “The Difference Between Topic and Theme” to find out! 😉

Hope you’re doing well and enjoying the start of the autumn season. (Or spring, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere!) I’ve had to step back from life online recently to focus on recovering from stress-related health issues. I’m not sure when I’ll be back to my normal activity on Twitter or Instagram. But when I am, you’ll know. (*hugs*)
