Only if you make it cliche. Cliche means it’s overdone. It’s something the audience has seen before. It’s predictable. So, sure, go ahead and start with a “cliche” premise. But as the story progresses make it unpredictable. Then those surprising moments will be what the audience will remember. Not your “cliche: premise.

@warrioroftherealm no character is ever cliche if they are approached as a person with a logical reason for being who and where they are in life. It sounds like this woman has a very good reason for being ‘strong’.

At the same time, I think ‘strong woman’ is frequently misunderstood or misinterpreted. A strong woman is not a masculine woman. A…[Read more]

@kballen Hi! Are you joining me? 😀
I’m working on my WIP, on a very slow and very annoying sequence on scenes. It’ll pick up eventually, but these humps are…hard to get over. 😛

@salome01w4g @jessi-rae @epicaddie2 @anyoneelse I’m on.

@jane-maree *grabs pizza on the way out and munches on it happily*

@seekjustice @jane-maree @salome01w4g We were a lively bunch tonight. 😛 I wrote 339 (ew) and finished editing 1/3 of a chapter! Adios amigos!

Hey people! A good song for writing (in my opinion) is Time by Hans Zimmer –from Inception, an awesome movie (also in my opinion). It starts out very quiet, but it builds! And power!

@jane-maree Just curious…you wouldn’t happen to have some pizza would you? 😀

@salome01w4g @seekjustice @jane-maree I’m here! Write/edit time!

@winter-rose I blame @xonos-darkgrate‘s profile pic. XD

@emily Yeah, I do. 🙂 I like trying to draw (key-word “trying”) and painting.

@catwing Oh dear. It ate him…

I’ve got to go now. I edited quite a bit. 😀

@catwing Maybe to Jack it would appear that the flashlight appeared out of nowhere? Like, he can’t see the fairy yet, because he doesn’t know they exist. He doesn’t believe in them yet?

@catwing Gotta love the humor! 😛

Hey catwing, go outline. 😉

Suddenly, a flashlight appeared out of nowhere. Jack put his hand on his head, clenching at his hair! “Goodness me! A flashlight! My requests have been answered!”

@catwing Yes! Isn’t editing so much fun!

I’m going through and killing all the telling, and making my sarcastic character ten times as snarky. It’s awesome. 😛 I’m about 16, maybe 17% through with editing. Making progress. 😀

I’ve been able to incorporate world building too, which I decided to do after I wrote the book. *hides under piles of…[Read more]

@catwing Hiya! I’m editing too!

@salome01w4g @that_writer_Girl_99 Time for dinner! Have fun with ethics and novels that don’t want to be written! 😀
