Today we cover the most dreaded topic of all writing: MUH THEMES! Themes are important for analysis but too many writers deliberately (and clumsily) insert way too much theme in a lot of places.

Then, we talk about inspiration and taking cues from your favorite authors! There are some who say there are really only like ten stories in all the world. We don't go along with that, so we talk about why not and discuss some stuff we've found inspiring and also some things we've read that were inspired by other works!

Also a bit of discussion on writing "for the algorithm," what that means, and what we think of it.
