Aria J. Wolfe
1.Write honestly. Be vulnerable.
2. A writer can only venture as deep as he's willing to go. Your personal perspective (world-view) will make it's way onto the page, so don't write with a 'message' or 'theme' in mind. Instead, write what you love.
3. What makes you afraid. What makes you hope.
4. Don't try to force a theme or message. That will evolve without you even trying if you focus on the story. The worst thing I've seen in new (fiction) writing is the author using their craft as a soap box for their message. Nothing turns me off more. IMO
