@alia That would actually be really funny! It reminds me of a book I once read where all the characters in the novel are actually just actors and everytime someone opens the book they have to play the novel out all over again, which of course, they hate.

All right…the clichés:
Villain clichés:
- villain always, always wears black. Maybe red, if they’re feeling adventurous.
- They tend to be rather tall and thin and have long fingers
- and hands which they rub together when they feel evil
- and a cackling laugh
- also must have a henchman who’s short
- fat
- stupid
- and refers to the v…

It could be interesting, clichés are fun to play with! @rochellaine likes doing clichés and making them humorous, so she might have some tips for you! My course of action tends to be killing them…violently. But they are a lot of fun to play with. Have you ever read anything by Terry Pratchett?

@alia Fun is the word to describe it…*rolls eyes and faints dramatically*
Awesome! Ah, I love clichés too. I use way too many of them.

@alia Polishing up some blurbs. How about you?

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @valtmy
By the way, remember how I was bragging the other day about how few parent characters I killed? I just realised that I’m not doing as well as I thought I was because Sapphire was also a mother. And I killed her on screen, so to speak. I can’t get away with the “but she was dead beforehand” like I do with Zac’s…[Read more]

Hi, all!
I’ve been thinking about adding a page on my website with blog buttons from the writer bloggers I follow. But I’m not quite sure how to go about acquiring the buttons. I imagine I just contact the blogger somehow and request it? If you want your blog button to be added to my list, I’d be happy to do that. 🙂

@seekjustice Yes, we had a good time. The sermon was nice. It was about going to a secret place with God, and just talking with Him, without other distractions. I certainly don’t do that enough!
Okay, sounds great. 🙂
So am I, actually, since it’s time for dinner. 😛 See you later!

@rochellaine Did you have a good time?
Okay. Well, I’m attempting a few different versions, I’ll ask your opinion on them when I’m done.
I’m going to disappear for half an hour to an hour and then I’ll be back.

@seekjustice The blurb sounds quite interesting! (I agree with @jenwriter17, that you didn’t sound at all selfish in the original post.)
I did have to read the blurb a couple of times to figure out what was going on, as I was mixing up Yilla and the queen, but I think that might have just been that I was doing other things at the same time, so…[Read more]

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 Sorry for dropping out on you. My sister and I decided to go to the Wednesday evening service at our church. 🙂

@seekjustice well, if you find any good ones, let us know. 😉
I have to leave now. Happy writing! (I probably won’t be on much the next couple weeks, but I’ll be blogging).

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
Me neither, maybe I’ll have to hunt down a few blog posts on writing blurbs.
(I’m glad. I know I worry a lot about upsetting people, but I can’t help it)

@seekjustice That sounds interesting! 🙂 I don’t have any suggestions, but yet I don’t know much about writing blurbs.
(I saw your post in my email; you didn’t come across as selfish to me. We’re here to help each other. 😉 )

And *poof*! My post has vanished. I’m not sure whether you got it or not, but I’ll try again.
(By the way, I sounded a bit selfish in that last post, if you read it. I’m sorry and I don’t mean to sound like I was only telling you about my project because I wanted help on it. I love talking with you about my writing–and…[Read more]

@seekjustice That is the absolute WORST thing about being sick!!! I always say so. I don’t mind the feeling of being sick half as much as the feeling of being strangled and incapable of song. How can you properly express feelings without music? Words alone just don’t carry it. 😛
Hope you get better soon!
A new project?? Is it a secr…[Read more]
