The preparation stage is there to prepare before you write. It’s our workbench where we figure everything out. We test our theme, we test our plot and once everything passes test, then we begin writing.
You can change theme as many times as you feel it needs changing, while you are in preparation stage.
The main thing is to make your story interesting.
It’s not a good idea to keep changing theme when writing story because then you will have to keep changing story. This means rewriting.
Figure everything out then write.
Have you tested your theme against your plot?
