I've given some thought to this, and I decided that I want to either make or find a theme to my fantasy novel before I really get into it (as I have started a couple pages already). I did some research online and found a whole lot of stuff about why stories should have theme and what theme is, but not much about how to make theme (Besides the usual "Oh, you'll figure it out eventually"). From what I can tell, this is kind of an unusual way to start out a book, so thanks for any advice :D
