have to your fiction isn’t “I hate it,” or “That was clumsily done,” it’s “What’s the point?” We talk at length about the technical aspects of fiction, like setting, dialogue, character and plot, but they all serve the greater purpose of creating stories that move our readers emotionally or intellectually. Whether we intentionally mean to do it or not, almost all successful fiction has a point or multiple points. In English class, teachers call those points “themes." Join long-time short story author and creative writing teacher James Van Pelt in a discussion of how to write with a point.
