First of all, what even are themes? In this episode of Fantasy Writing for Barbarians, Jon Negroni takes a look at the intricacies of themes and how we should look at them as authors. He starts by reacting to a recent comment from one of our listeners and then discusses the role of themes as opposed to conflict and how to avoid preachy writing. Jon also takes a look at another prompt asking if it's possible to write a book without a theme in mind.
