I’ve tried the one sentence approach too (with loglines), and it is harder. It just seems like some stories need more.

Yes, theme is something I have been working on more over the last two years. It’s a tricky one. It might be that some of those themes crop up naturally just because of the setup.

Someone told me I “had to” write the premise of my story with just one sentence. I did it but it was choppy. Two sentences make it flow much better.

Thanks, Becca! Yes, there are different approaches, but as I continue on my writing journey, I find the sooner I have some idea of the theme, the better.

I know there are many ways to approach theme, even back-filling it after the first draft has been written. But for me, this is much more efficient. With a little planning of the premise, you can see the theme that is often inherently there before you write. Thanks for sharing!
