I’m not sure the names of his books, but he wrote a lot, I’ve only read one but he also tends to use clichés in humorous ways. My mum likes his books.

@alia That would actually be really funny! It reminds me of a book I once read where all the characters in the novel are actually just actors and everytime someone opens the book they have to play the novel out all over again, which of course, they hate.

All right…the clichés:
Villain clichés:
- villain always, always wears black. Maybe red, if they’re feeling adventurous.
- They tend to be rather tall and thin and have long fingers
- and hands which they rub together when they feel evil
- and a cackling laugh
- also must have a henchman who’s short
- fat
- stupid
- and refers to the v…

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?

@alia Fun is the word to describe it…*rolls eyes and faints dramatically*
Awesome! Ah, I love clichés too. I use way too many of them.

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @valtmy
By the way, remember how I was bragging the other day about how few parent characters I killed? I just realised that I’m not doing as well as I thought I was because Sapphire was also a mother. And I killed her on screen, so to speak. I can’t get away with the “but she was dead beforehand” like I do with Zac’s…[Read more]

@rochellaine I’m back! Are you back?

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
@rochellaine Did you have a good time?
Okay. Well, I’m attempting a few different versions, I’ll ask your opinion on them when I’m done.
I’m going to disappear for half an hour to an hour and then I’ll be back.

Me neither, maybe I’ll have to hunt down a few blog posts on writing blurbs.
(I’m glad. I know I worry a lot about upsetting people, but I can’t help it)

And *poof*! My post has vanished. I’m not sure whether you got it or not, but I’ll try again.
(By the way, I sounded a bit selfish in that last post, if you read it. I’m sorry and I don’t mean to sound like I was only telling you about my project because I wanted help on it. I love talking with you about my writing–and…[Read more]

Great! 😀
Yes, they are!

Awesome! How are you liking it so far? I’m working on a blurb for a new project at the moment 😉

They are the worst 🙁 *insert various annoyed and disgusted emojis*
Cool! What are you working on? I’ve done my blogging so I’m ready to move on to something else.

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 Seeing as that was 1:30 in the morning…no. I neither get up nor stay up that early!
Speaking of singing all the time, I’ve had a cold lately and now my voice is just gone which is making my habitual singing very difficult. It’s driving me crazy! especially the fact that I usually have a very deep, powerful sort of…[Read more]

Yes, it was from a few weeks ago. I was just catching up on their blog because I hadn’t looked at it in ages.
You’re on a slippery slope, my friend, one day you will kill a character if you keep going this way.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #19 in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
I was wondering what had happened to you!
It’s going well, thanks, I’ve almost got my stuff together to send out. Also, I’m in a good mood because I just found an article on Story Embers detailing three reasons why you should kill a main character 😛

I’m sorry *hugs*. *dusts off hands* at least I have a reputation now!
