Mariposa Aristeo started the topic Aloha, Bonjour, and Howdy! in the forum Start HERE 9 years, 3 months ago
Hello! My name is Mariposa Aristeo. I’m an ultra-shy girl (in person) who dreams of being an author/illustrator. When I’m not thinking, reading, or writing about dinosaurs, I’m drawing them. I hide Easter eggs in my art like Pixar does in their films. Sometimes I hide a reference to one of my future books, an old TV actor, or a Disney character. I…[Read more]

… After skimming over this, I’m beginning to think that cliches are just paradoxes.

@mark-kamibaya Thanks for putting this together!
“The literature of the human species encountering change.” I see why this caught your eye. I never considered Sci-Fi that way. Really, I always thought it was a fiction of technology and extraordinary things. Star wars kind of thing, if you know what I mean. 😛
But certainly, just writing s…[Read more] -

@Mark-Kamibaya I know. 😛 One tiny bit over the limit and my brain is guaranteed to be fried for the rest of the day. XD
Hey, it’s all good. It wasn’t irritating; or if it was I didn’t notice. I’m not thin-skinned enough to be irritated by other people’s strongly stated opinions. 😉 Perhaps I should be more sensible of that… 😛

@Mark-Kamibaya @Kate-Flournoy
Yep. I think we’re all operating under different definitions,( *cough* Who’s on first? *cough* ) and I was tired when I posted as well so that makes for all of us being a little foggy-brained. Rereading what I wrote last night has me swearing off engaging in any writing debates past six in the evening from now on.…[Read more] -

@Dragon-Snapper what @FeedingMyGoldfish said. 😀
I’m afraid I know next to nothing about singing at all— I just love to do it and so I do, and I’ve learned along the way. I did look up a few tutorials on breath control starting out, but otherwise it’s all just been trial and error— and practice. *evil smile*
I guess if I had one piece of…[Read more] -

Hi guys! So, I’m trying to teach myself to sing. Do you guys know where I should start? -
Kate Flournoy replied to the topic My Take on Cliches in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
@Mark-Kamibaya my apologies. 😉 I was also operating on a low battery when I wrote that, so it’s probably not as clear as it could have been.
You got it though. And you’re right, I didn’t realize that was what you’re saying, and if that’s the case there’s no debate, because I totally agree. 😛 -

@Daeus Yes, that makes perfect sense. I see what you mean. Reminds me of that poem @Kate-Flournoy wrote a while back. Paradoxical, I believe it was called?

Gracie replied to the topic My Take on Cliches in the forum General Writing Discussions 9 years, 4 months ago
@Mark-Kamibaya Fascinating topic. And your presentation of conventions versus clichés makes a lot of sense.
I’m going to have to agree with @Kate-Flournoy that I don’t believe clichés are to be avoided like the plague. (Har, har, see what I did there?). And to expound on her point, you can take the true story @Daeus just shared as an example. H…[Read more]
