I got in last minute at the Downtown Winter Market this Friday and Saturday. Don’t miss it! There might be a special guest;)
This is a repost from 2019. It is a product of its time so forgive the old references. A Part 2 of Keeping it Simple post is in the works, so stay tuned!
It’s sure been a minute. Perhaps while I struggle to finish Book 3 of the Bloodstone Dagger, I should continue on with my In Defense of Tropes blog series. Next up: the ancient and ubiquitous Damsel in Distress. But is there anything defendable about this one? Turns out yes… if you value a little thing called all life on earth.
In this third instalment of my In Defense of Tropes blog series, I explore the most overdone trope in all of existence. The Chosen One. But, is it truly overdone or just badly done?
Completing my latest title, Queen of the Skour, Book 2 of the Bloodstone Dagger was such a struggle to finish. Heck, even this blog post is a struggle. Where do I even start with this thing?
Part 2 of my tropes series explores the allure of the bad boy in women’s fiction and how in order to keep him around, it’s important to separate fantasy from reality.
My blogspace is primarily used to document my personal experiences as an author and not for opinion pieces. However, I figure, since expo season has dried up due to COVID-19, I’ve taken to writing a blog series about literary tropes and why authors shouldn’t shy away from them.
Come see me at the Edmonton Expo this weekend! Will the the last one for a while.
