Whheeee there are some good ones over here. Cliches are so fun to pick on. Some in my list are similar to ones already listed, ’cause I wrote it before I read the thread. I think I’ll change my stuff to the bullet-point method I’m seeing though as it looks way easier to digest than how I wrote my thing.

• Damsel in distress
• opposite…

@catwing Awesome! 🙂

@rochellaine Yup, on Lulu! 😀 I have quite a TBR, but I’ll let you know when I start reading it. And when I finish it, I’ll probably post a review on Lulu and/or Goodreads. 🙂

@jenwriter17 Oh, oh!!  Haha, I just remembered, I was looking through our sales a few days ago and saw that I’d sold one of those.  I was quite surprised, since the only links are from the ministry website, so people are looking for my parents’ books, not mine.

Now the mystery is solved! 😀

@jenwriter17 Oh…oh my. 😛  How in the world did you find that??

Ohh…from the ministry website’s page on Lulu?

I hope you like it okay!  The beginning (first several chapters) is very boring and forgettable.  But if you can get past that, it gets a little better.  😉

Wow, you’ll be the first person on KP who has read that! 😀 This is exc…[Read more]

@seekjustice I see. 🙂  I love making up names!

Oh, wow. I love the rhythm of that poem!

Don’t worry.  I’ve been going on tangents all night! 😛

Oh, that is strange.  You need to try it out!! 😉  You should watch the pilot episode first, if possible, just to get the background, but then whatever order of episodes you want.

I’m leaving now.  Goodnight!

@rochellaine

Im not on right now but…

guess what I ordered and just arrived? 😉

@seekjustice Okay, I’m in an analyzation mood, so here’s my take on those names:

Moonaru and Mooniji have too much “moon” in them, and they make me think of moony romance or loony weirdness.  (Yeah, sorry, couldn’t come up with a better phrase than “loony weirdness” which is sad, seeing as I’m a writer, but that’s life.)

Narara is too much of a…[Read more]

@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…

@alia

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]

@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

Rochellaine likes doing clichés and making them humorous, so she might have some tips for you!

Um…did you mean @valtmy?  Or were you referring to something in one of my stories that for some reason I do not remember?

By the way, I’m back, finally. 😀

@alia Hi! how’s it going?

@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!

@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]
