Re: THIS IS THE WRITING THREAD!

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, not annoying. :)

I did something like that in an art class. We needed like 7 items in the drawing but mine was perfect to me at 5 and didn't need those last two.

I think talking to people will help. I've always found the best help is when people throw ideas at me. For almost all the ideas, I won't like them, but it's so helpful to me because then I've narrowed down what it is I DO want that little bit more, which helps me craft a question that actually gets me what I want further down the line. It helps me figure out how to say what it is that I'm looking for or not looking for. It frustrates people to no end because it seems like I'm just rejecting everything but I find even bad ideas or ill-fitting ideas are great to know!

Thanks!

Ahh

I might suggest looking on TV Tropes, if you don't mind the site (I've met people who disliked or hated burning hatred for it. Me, I just take it as a source of information ) It can be fun to look at certain premise /setting tropes you like and put your own spin on them. :3

I avoid TV Tropes but only because it's like a black hole I get sucked into. Once I start, I keep clicking links and then suddenly six hours have gone by. :)

TV tropes was kind of what I was thinking of when I said lists of cliches are a great start but just not enough. The tropes are good but I just need that added little something that will make a story out of it -- especially as I am writing pre-existing characters who already fall into their own tropes. So, any character-tropes are unlikely to work because they're either OOC or just describe a pre-existing condition. Ditto a lot of the world-building elements. Maybe I'll try again and look for action-type tropes but I feel like that would be great if I already had some kind of starting point to begin with.

Ahhhh Maybe that will work.

TV Tropes is a pile of shit. If I want to actually write, I'll stay way the fuck away from it, thanks.

*eyerolls* Mm edgy.

Sure it has problems, but it also has a bunch of common premises, character types and such. It is information and CAN be useful or harmful depending on what YOU do with it.

Thinking it will automatically make you a poorer or better writer is stupid and means you're putting too much stock in it.

I know a lot of the tropes and stuff because analyzing literature and stuff is my thing so I find it very interesting , but I also know that you don't slap tropes together can call it a novel.

Also knowing these things will not automatically make you suck either because it's UP TO YOU what you make of it. Some tropes you discard, some you notice, whatever.
