Quoted from ABennettWriter
A boat isn't a theme.

A theme is a statement that best describes the moral of your story.

So, a boat can't be a theme.



Oh, for Pete's sake, just go with it!

We're talking theme as a subject here, not as a moral statement.

–noun
1.     a subject of discourse, discussion, meditation, or composition; topic: The need for world peace was the theme of the meeting.
2.     a unifying or dominant idea, motif, etc., as in a work of art.

I apologize for being so picky.

I'm very excited to begin the thought process of what to do!

A thriller that deals with a boat... Very nice.


Coming Soon...

Oh, and I've got a question for Don or anyone who knows.

Does it have to be that specific boat that is in the picture? Or can it be any kind of boat? Like a cruise ship? Or a raft? I need to know, because if it has to be that on particular boat than I need to go back to the drawing board.

Since the genre is not horror, I'm hoping none.

Yeah, for my sake, jump on board!

Oh wait, you have. Well done.

I like the genre and "theme" btw, sounds like it could go many different ways.

Did you even read the set-up?

Yes -- it is THAT boat.

Anywhere, anytime, any way you want to use it.

But that specific boat.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!
