Well, I’ve never dared them, partly because they’re the Christian staples and I don’t want to offend anyone by saying I didn’t like them 😛
How’s things?

Ah, that’s a relief!
Do you think I’ve read Janette Oke? Me, who rather….dislikes, shall we say, romance? No, I haven’t 😛

Look me in the eyes and tell me that you don’t 😛
@rochellaine Are you around this afternoon/evening? I feel like maybe you disintegrated or something.

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia @dekreel @jenwriter17 I’m going to be on in a while. Writing my book, a bit behind my goal, but I finished my blog post for tomorrow. 😀

@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. 🙂

I like the poem too. It’s one of my favourites to recite and when we visited Barcoo I couldn’t stop myself, because everytime I hear the word Barcoo it gets stuck in my head. It’s “A Bush Christening” by Banjo Paterson, if you’re interested.
Okay dokey
Good night!

Righto. Mooniji and Narara are the only ones I took straight from Australian towns, the rest are all some sort of mixing up.
Kalamooney was a mixture of Kala–which is a fairly common Aboriginal prefix and Mooney Mooney, which is an actual town, believe it or not.
Traumlant is actually the only one which isn’t Australian Aboriginal…[Read more]

It’s basically about the princess/queen of said kingdom who is accused of being disconnected from her people, who are starving while she gambles away the kingdom’s money etc. So she orders a girl from the country to come and live with her and teach her about the ways of the people…
I’ve come up with a few different ideas,…[Read more]

@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]

Maybe cliché isn’t the right word, maybe archetype describes it better. Usually in terms of your characters, they fit quite neatly into the prearranged boxes, if you know what I mean? Maybe I just get confused because your stories are humorous and have clichés, so I tend to blend the two separate concepts together.
I quite enjoyed y…[Read more]

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

@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 replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
I thought you were a fan of clichés? (definitely most of your short stories have struck me as humorous cliché sort of stories) Maybe that’s just me. I definitely thought you liked anything cliché though.
That’s up to you. You just gave me a name with no context and I said the first thing that came into my head, but if the ch…[Read more]

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?

There is this short story idea I have, but the main thing about it is that it is chock full of cliches. So if y’all could list every cliche you can think about, I would really appreciate it. (particularly narrator, protagonist, and villain cliches)(but other ones as well)
