    Advice for writing themes into the story without hitting the reader over the head with them

    It must have both, but like The Force, there should be balance, heh heh. I'd argue there are too many damned Sith running around these days. But as you say, it doesn't matter, though I'd advise all writers to exit the chamber if they're able.

    Most of it is a cacophony of sanctimonious echoes in the chamber. Derivative and redundant isn't necessary, just inevitable, heh heh.

    Advice for writing themes into the story without hitting the reader over the head with them

    Don't take a side is an option and pretty much the only way to avoid a version of a straw man argument. Explore a theme more like a reporter should report a story instead of as an advocate, and you'll be less likely to hit folks over the head. The world needs fewer authors thinking they proved...

    The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever

    Yeah, I will have to go and look back to see how many read back in the day, but I recall them getting a tad stale, similar to my reaction to Wheel of Time. EDIT: I made it at least through White Gold Wielder. Yeah, no way I made it past that. First three were the best, although it is a...

    Favorite excerpts from your novels.

    A new snippet I enjoyed writing... This piece comes from the upcoming War of Seven Lies and the chapters involving The Touched will "break rules" like crazy. It's a blast to write it, heh heh. It's gonna jar the shit out of some readers until getting used to it. "Are there creatures here who'd...

    Actual healthy food pyramid

    But anyhow... many differences between grains. Fresh ground spelt bread is just awesome and the health benefits compared to processed crap makes it different. Mmmm, spelt.

    The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever

    Yes, I read the first book when I was around 14 and a couple of books after. To be blunt, I don't remember them that well, but i do recall enjoying them as far as I got, but they started to get old.

    Selections of when I explain magic

    Sounds YA and rather unnatural to me.

    Colorful "normal" characters?

    Aware of the potential issue is probably the first fix, if one is even necessary. Not sounding the same is one key, as in not agreeing with others in every perspective, the rule of conflict, if they come into contact. Make them "real," and they can be interesting, but of course, that's the...
