What themes, settings, motifs, scenes, or other elements do you find recurring in your work?
1. School- I write middle grade and YA so school comes into play a lot.
2. Sports- For some reason I like to give my characters something sporty to do. I think this is because I really liked being on swim team when I was a kid. The thing I have to watch for is that I'm not writing about the next Lebron James or Joe Mauer or Brett Favre.
3. Theater and Costumes. Last year's NaNoWriMo was set at a theater camp but the MG novel that I've been working on for a while features a school mascot costume. What can I say, I worked for Sesame Street Live, I've worked for CostumeRentals. Costumes are kinda my thing.

Costumes! Love it!
Ah, sports are great. I try and work them in, too. And costumes have so much potential. That's awesome. How fun.
"Theater and Costumes"
Me, too! Love this. :)
My cuz Pam has sports (mainly basketball) in all of her works, too. Great post :)
How did I forget school? Seriously that's a major fail.
I love that you do theater stuff too. I don't think there's enough.
I feel like I haven't read many books that are about/take place in a theater--I'd definitely read that.
Ooh, costumes sound really interesting! I forgot to mention sports in my post, but I definitely incorporate them as well.
awesome! i am such a sucker for theater camp books.
Sesame Street Live?! So jealous!
Yes, my stories loooove sports. A must have for me. :)
