My eighth grade lit teacher said "theme in this class is the writers feeling about life". I like that definition to the point I remember it 20+ years later. My theme is like this.

To me my best writing/blogging is when i take a seemingly unique event or events that I experience. Turn it into a universal human experience that I hope is felt in the soul. If the emotional truth hits right the grammar shit ends up being like the torn up wrapping paper left over after presents Christmas morning. I feel like it's a skill that took quite a long time to get even marginally good at. My fiance told me she loved reading through my blog here because she could see my growth as a writer over the years.

What is your theme? What is your goal or doctrine for your writing?
 
I write my "stories" so bizarre and so confusing with neologisms and word puzzles, only I can understand what they are telling about.
 
I' be been using writing as a means to process things I struggle to understand, like emotions and human interactions. I use different settings and characters, never real ones, and I am never personally part of what happens. It's more like a projection and a way to distance myself from a certain situation and by this to see it more objectively (and from different angles, this the diffy characters)

Inventing the settings, situans and characters keeps me entertained when I have nothing else to do, which is a plis because I cannot deal with boredom very well
