Trope Talk, part 6: Poetry Tropes In my Trope Talk series, I've been discussing storytelling devices in fiction books. However, did you know that poetry has tropes, too? I mean, you might be like, "Well, yeah, I guess that makes sense," but have you really thought about it? Like, really? Let's think about it together! Much of what we could call poetry tropes has to do with the sound of the poem.

National #Poetry Month continues with the latest installment in my #TropeTalk series, Poetry Tropes!

Trope Talk, part 5: Unreliable Narrator In the last Trope Talk post, I went over one of the common tropes in the horror genre, the final girl. Today, we're going to dive into a trope that spans across multiple genres in different ways: the unreliable narrator. In short, an unreliable narrator is one that can't be trusted--the narrator's account of events is not credible for some reason.

My #TropeTalk series continues with a deep dive into the unreliable narrator...or does it??? (Yes, it does.)

📜 TROPE TALK: Debris Fields

Let's talk about the biggest lie in Science Fiction: The Dense Asteroid Field.

In movies, it’s a death trap.
In reality? You could fly a ship blindfolded through our asteroid belt and never hit a thing. ☄️

#JWilderBooks #TropeTalk #WhyChoose

#TropeTalk What do you think it is about small towns that makes them such a popular setting for romance?

“Little did I know…” = writer-speak for
• I didn’t know how to reveal this naturally.
• My character suddenly knows less than they should.
• I’m about to yank you out of the story.

It’s not clever. It’s a crutch. We can do better.

#gamedev #TropeTalk we NEED more arsenal mages with spells mapped to button combos(yes, like Magicka, or Invoker^tm, but customizable) like come on now, you can even do it in a #roguelike

#TropeTalk Do you have a favorite trope that is perhaps one of the less popular ones? What do you love about it?

#TropeTalk What trope do you think is essentially too broken to actually work and why?

My favourite trope is when a character keeps standing up during a losing battle.

And as cliché as it is, it's even better when they keep standing up while remembering who they are fighting for. They don't even need to win, they just need to stand up

One more time.
