YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! A thousand congratulations! (And lots of confetti…)

@Allison-Grace *sniffs* They already said it all.
I’ll just second what @Daeus said; you can have as many themes as you think will work, so long as they’re all related and complement each other. For instance, if your primary theme is honesty, your supporting themes could be telling the truth in love and/or telling the truth even when it’s ugly.…[Read more]

@jane-maree @jessi-rae @epicaddie2 @catwing @shannon I’m on for a bit, trying to organize the scenes for my next novel. (YAYAYAYAYAY! So many opportunities!)
