Everyone's answers are super cool, it's fun to see what other writers have done. Although I have not written that many stories in my short life I find I write a lot about redemption. I think reoccurring themes come about because of ourselves. What we struggle with the most or what we wish to share. They tend to be something we believe strongly about and are so deeply rooted in our being that they are a part of us. At least that is what I have seen in myself. <br />Thank you guys for writing this blog for us. It is a huge blessing. <br />- Book DragonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-13299017536519324512018-07-23T14:31:33.549-05:002018-07-23T14:31:33.549-05:00Thanks so much for hanging out with us, Nadine!

My current manuscript is not quite as deep as the one from which I've drawn most of these themes, and it deals more briefly with the ideas of greed, selfishness, lies, the withering pursuit of power, and strength through unity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433886456986052001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-52050340605753431952018-07-23T10:38:51.193-05:002018-07-23T10:38:51.193-05:00Your book sounds amazing, Nadine!

A lot of my characters have skeletons in the closet, and they have to come to grips with them. Also, purpose tends to come up fairly often.

My goal is to humanize them, let people see that they have lives, hopes and dreams just like everyone else while busting some myths surrounding them and their history. It's so much fun!<br /><br />Another recurring theme is sharing the Gospel, as I want to include that in every book I write. Along those lines, I've written a lot about Christians seeking out God's call on their life and actively looking for ways to serve Him. There's a lot of work to be done!Ryana Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448055348627114720noreply@blogger.com
