Jaws was a movie about a killer shark terrorizing a small sea side town, right? Or was it really about one man’s obsession and another’s sense of duty. Is Apocalypse Now a movie about Vietnam, or the cruelty and bravery of men?
It made me wonder what my book was about. I think the first part of my book is about Jose’s desperation to get his family out of the Bronx and give them a better life. But after he becomes successful, it's about greed; he wanted a big house, now he wants a mansion!
So
what is your book or short story about? Is it a story about a Civil War
soldier enduring the hardships of battle - or is it about hatred,
love, greed or patriotism? And remember to make the actions of
your characters reflect the sin, heroism,
or vice you are trying to display.
Put the stories message in your working title, or on a sticky note on the computer screen, to remind what you are really writing about. Your characters and situations are all just symbols to illustrate your stories true meaning. Good luck!
As for now, I return to writing into the wind.
