But I will today, and posting here is only the start. I have a particular post I've been wanting to post for a while now that I'll put up today (though not in this post).
So, as I said above, I didn't write any, and that includes writing on my Short Story *facepalm*.
*Later that day...*
Originality can be one of the hardest enemies a writer can ever, Ever, have.
And it lies to us, it says it is originality, and yet, it is not.
We will always have this problem, however, we must prevail.
If something is clichéd, fix it.
For instance, as I am patching up one of my very first novel, first off, I see that the climax, well… it’s a bit clichéd, but here’s where it gets good (or bad, actually). The antagonist invades the country, and the people in the country set out to defend themselves.
A battle ensued (the battle at the end of the book), and the good guys started loosing. Then suddenly some people came to rescue them. Throw a party, get excited. :/
The reason? Well, because I didn’t set out a good plan, and didn’t have an outline, I had to make one up on the fly. Guess what I got? An overused, predictable cliché.
Wow, great ending to the entire story. Not.
For that, and numerous other reasons, I have decided that the second half of my novel is unfit to have as my five NaNoWriMo book copies. Alas… I sort of wish I could get the original, yet have it still be as good as I will make it. Too bad life doesn’t work that way.
Anyway, I think I’ll have that other post up later today, but I need to write some first.
