The Writings of Dan. An Aspiring Writer's Blog Site. Curious, I looked on the interwebs for what is considered trite in romance storylines and found I had a couple: husband is the antagonist, and the hero or heroine dies in the end. And then there is the issue of reader expectations. I posted a few months ago about the Hero’s Journey. So, what do you guys think? You have any tricks for staying out of the cliché realm? I know reading widely certainly helps. You got any more suggestions? I have still been ...

https://danbracewell.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/and-away-she-goes
The Writings of Dan. An Aspiring Writer's Blog Site. 8230; And Away She Goes. Today, for the first time in twelve years, I submitted a short story to a magazine. The story is called. I wrote it about ten years ago. It was based upon a dream I had about a swimming pool full of sharks. I thought the story was pretty good, but admittedly, it wasn’t my normal genre (dark fantasy). I had some people look at it, they made their comments, and it just kind of sat around for a decade. Something I may have to rere...

The Writings of Dan. An Aspiring Writer's Blog Site. Yes, Virginia, There Really is a Monomyth. A long time ago, in a video game school far, far away . . . one of my teachers gave a lecture about story. He talked about the Hero’s Journey and recommended it’s structure for story creation. His presentation impressed quite a few of my friends and though I didn’t fully appreciate it at the time, I filed the Hero’s Journey to the back of my mind to be studied later. The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Fast forwar...

The Writings of Dan. An Aspiring Writer's Blog Site. Crawling into the Skin of the Opposite Sex. A friend once told me that if you find yourself writing in the voice of a person who is the opposite sex you are, then you are secretly that gender. I don’t know about that, but it certainly has gotten me thinking about writing from the POV of the opposite sex. Whatever the reason, it helps me with my writing. I’m currently writing about my story’s love interest, Rose. Do you take Melvin Udall’s. I just notic...
