I Don't Like the Anthology Theme. What do I do?

GA features several writing events throughout the year, usually with a theme.  When themes are announced, there are generally two reactions - yay, I love it! or WTF were you thinking?  Participating in site events is fun and a great way to get your work out there and gain new readers.  So, what happens when you want to participate in a site event but don't like the theme?  I'm going to outline some tips and tricks to still participating, even if the theme doesn't "speak" to you.

I need to book an appointment with my optometrist and see if my eye sight has changed. I've worn glasses/contacts all my life, and believe it or not, over the past 5-6 years, my eyes keep getting better 😮 I'm told it has to do with controlling my blood sugar the best I have in 53 years .
