Hello there, SWC folks! And other people reading this hehe - heya ^^ If you don't know - I'm Starr, and today (well, tomorrow actually), I'll be going over Subtopic #2 of the SWC Adding Intrigue Workshop, Themes. I hope you enjoy! This workshop might seem a bit long (rounds up to 1.6k words eep) - but the slides are very short, so it should be quick progress. I tried to explain everything clearly, but if there's something you didn't understand, or simply want clarification on, feel free to ask! I will try my best to answer <3 Thank you to all of the previously completed subtopics this month - they were all awesome and provided a lot of inspiration for design! And thank you to @honeybreeze for calmly looking over this and telling me to go to sleep - ily Honey, and I appreciate it hehe <3 - - - INSTRUCTIONS: Tap to remove (bad word choice but I can't remember what it's called ehehe) thumbnail. Tap/space/arrows to move on to the next/previous slide ^^ There are a few bugs with the transition ehehe - wait until the slide is completely showing before switching, otherwise it'll get frozen halfway. - - - DAILY ACTIVITY: What themes do you feel that you connect most with in writing? Create a 300 word piece that includes and reflects off one common theme, and think about how the theme works with the writing. Then, rewrite the piece - but including a different theme this time, along with the previous one! How is your writing influenced by these two themes? 600 words total (counting both pieces: the original + rewritten) for 300 points. - - - Helpful (ish?)
