This Week's Topic:
What themes, settings, motifs, scenes, or other elements do you find recurring in your work?
Sibling Relationships
I have a great relationship with my brother, but it's not like the sibling relationships I write about. The ones I write about tend to be ones where at least one sibling is totally dependent on the other.
Dance
This one's an obvious one, as I love dance as much as I love writing. This was the first dance video in my youtube subscriptions today, and it represents how I like to write dance well. It's a classroom opposed to a stage, it's messy and honest and raw, it hasn't been polished to perfection.
Small Towns
I love intimate settings, places where a story feels close and quiet.
Self-Worth
This is huge in all my novels. My characters determine how much they're worth based on their popularity, grades, body, relationships, and so on. Ultimately, the coming-of-age moment for them is realizing how destructive that is, and that they are awesome just as they are.
What themes reoccur in your novels?

Love your comments on self-worth--such an important part of so many of our own coming-of-age stories.
I like that small town picture. And dance! I always want to include it and feel intimidated by actually representing it well.
The whole journey to find confidence thing recurs in mine, because my characters always start out sort of unsure of themselves, and by the end they'll have found their voice. It's sort of something I can relate to.
If anything, I think my characters have TOO much self-worth, like, I'm So Kickass and I'm Totally More Important Than Alla Y'all. But I lurve small towns, and dance *sigh*. Whenever I watch SYTYCD I think of Chase and heave a wistful sigh... <3
Angelica - Thank you!
Kate - I love that picture; I use it so much! lol I definitely feel that intimidation as well, but I think representing the heart of dance is more important than the steps.
Steph - I can relate to it as well, and it's always a theme I love to read about.
Catilin - LOL Your characters are awesome. Yess, I am heaving lots of wistful sighs as I watch dance videos. I miss him!
