@alia Haha, your idea reminds me of the Studio C episode where the Narrator has a fight with the protagonist. 😛 Have you seen that?
Let’s see… (I’ll copy @seekjustice‘s style of listing 😉 )
Villain Cliches:
- Male villain has a mustache
- Female villain is either the most beautiful woman in the world, or extremely ugly
- Villain’s voice…

@seekjustice, what is it about?

@jenwriter17, I think I’m on canva. I’ll try that.

@rochellaine, you were fairly close. She is in her late fifties to early sixties. A mother of five children, three died before the age of ten and the younger two were essentially kidnapped by the priests. She is clever, uses things to her advantage.
I have a character but the name isn’t set yet. She is for Decisions, a fairly major character with…[Read more]

Wow, looks like Seekjustice took care of that for you. 😉 I think she covered it really well, so I’ll just leave it at that. 🙂

@alia I actually just figured it out myself (I think).
I use canva.com to design a bunch of stuff (it’s free to make an account). All you’d have to do is create almost like a logo type thing. Check this out to see some examples of what buttons look like. I just made mine using a blank logo template (on canva). here’s what it looks like:

So i…[Read more]

@alia 😀 😀 😀 😀
Sometimes, I suppose, I’m just in a rambling mood. And no matter what I write at those times, it always seems to turn out a ramble. But, at least it has amused you. 😉
How close or far from your character was the analyzation, really? I mean, if you already picked a name, you must have picked a character, right?
So, is th…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I like that analyzation. And your ramblings are amusing

@seekjustice @alia Forgive me, both of you. I believe I’m in a rambling mood tonight. I just totally rambled on for hours in my posts to both of you. 😛
I hope you don’t get too confused or bogged down in my mental spiderwebs. 😉
(How would you get “bogged down” in “spiderwebs?” I’ve always known I was horrible at symbolism, but this is really bad.)

@alia I often go into a book with one opinion of a name and come out with another opinion. If I originally hated a name, and the books hero had the name, I usually like the name afterwards, or the other way around. 😛
So basically, whatever you use it for, I think the name will mold itself to your character, in your readers’ eyes.
However, you…[Read more]

@seekjustice Oh, yes. I love cliches!!! But while I enjoy cliches being made fun of, I actually like real cliches used seriously. I guess…hm, what sort of cliches did I use in my short stories? 😛 I didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t mind if I did, I just never thought of it before. Are stupid doctors cliche? Valtmy seemed to think they…[Read more]

@seekjustice, well this character is kinda a big deal in Decisions but since I just came up with her I don’t want to give anything away with context. Also, I wanted to know what the name made you think of

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@rochellaine, its going fantastic. What do you think of the name Ceer? What type of person would you think she is with that name?

@seekjustice, alright, I’ll ask my mom or one of my sisters about it.
hmm, she was young at one time, but not anymore. I guess she might pass as a strong female character. Definitely not a princess. Clever I guess. Should I keep the name you think?

Alia replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 1 month ago
@seekjustice, I’ll have to look into it.
on a different topic, what do you think of the name Ceer? What type of person would you think she is with that name?

@seekjustice, Terry Pratchett…doesn’t ring a bell. What are some books by (is it a him or a her, Terry could be either way…)?
What book is that, it sounds interesting

@princessfoo, I’m glad you like it. And thank you so much. Any and all cliches are welcome

@seekjustice, thanks! These are great

@alia That sounds so great! I would totally read that! I’ll see if I can think of any more.
