I've been re-reading some of my college textbooks before selling them at the garage sale. I'm starting to remember why I chose to keep them. Part 1 of Style has some very good advice, starting with "have something to say."
I have no problem with this. I'm very opinionated; I always have something to say. I find that my agendas always make it into my writing.
I think a theme is very important to a book. If you don't have something important to say to readers, there isn't a point. I find that my themes always involve women's rights or anti religion.
As a feminist, animal rights activist, and atheist, I think I have a lot to say that has never been said.

I know this is preaching to the choir, but I agree. Not only cause I am your sister, but because I have written with and without purpose. Once, I wrote off the top of my head with no planning and I didn't end up saying anything. In another attempt, I wanted to say something and I did. I also found several motifs developed with my theme.
