best of your ability, then move onto the next page(s).

    – How will your theme shape or influence your protagonist? (For instance, if your theme is about redemption, where will your protagonist begin in your story and how could your protagonist transform by the end of your story?)
    – How will your theme shape or influence your antagonist?
    – How will your theme shape and influence your story’s ending?
