A solid theme taps into something universal, making us pause and think, *"I’ve felt that."* And when a story hits that nerve, it lingers, whether it’s in a book, a movie, or a comic panel.

A strong theme doesn’t just tell a story—it makes you *feel* it.

They’re why we root for the hero, feel the loss, or find ourselves inspired to keep going. Without a strong theme, even the most action-packed story feels hollow—like a flashy car with no engine, all shine and no drive.

That thread you can’t stop tugging at? That’s your theme. You don’t need to force it, just notice what’s already there.

Trust your creative gut: your theme is waiting to be discovered.

Themes are just the big ideas that show up when you’re drawn to certain conflicts, emotions, or questions. Look at what keeps pulling you back into your story—maybe it’s the fight against control, finding hope in chaos, or figuring out where you belong.
