as setting an intention for your
writing. - Ask yourself the questions: How do
I want my reader to feel after
reading this piece? What do I want
them to do? What questions do I
want them to think about? These
questions will help you get clear on
your theme. - Once you have your theme, draft
your content around it. Start an
outline with ideas that illustrate
your theme. - Stories and examples are great ways to
propel your theme forward. They will elicit
emotion and bring heart and humanness to
your work. - Keep it simple. You don‘t have to go crazy

have an idea for content there‘s a theme
already under the surface, your job is to
tease it out and make sure it focuses the
rest of the work.
