While themes and thematic statements crop up throughout our stories, we can consciously weave them into our work to drive the desired effects in our readers. Once we make the choice of what themes and what thematic statement we want to write with, we can start layering them into our works, enhancing both our stories and our themes.

Like thematic statements, themes aren't necessary, though readers may find themes in your work you did not intend. To help steer your story in the right direction in the reader's mind, elect specific themes you want to explore in your story. Now, a theme can be any idea like love, dating, alcoholism, fighting, capitalism, or stoicism. The list goes on and on.
The easest way to find your story's thematic statement is by considering what you want to do with your story. Think beyond writing a good story. What are you actually setting out to say or do with your story to make it good?
Multiple thematic statements will cause a lot of confusion both for you as a writer and for readers trying to understand the story they are experiencing. Stick to one powerful thematic statement, deepened and developed by connected themes that show your thematic statement at different levels and aspects.
Using descriptive writing to show the characters' movements through the story, setting, and the world, we're giving our readers an added layer of description to cling to and experience the story. Descriptive action has ripples you can use to show other aspects of your story's world.
