Real people are much more complex, and there should be much more to our characters than what one character can say about them. Seer Statements – This is when one of the characters in the narrative makes one seemingly psychic statement about the protagonist that sums up their character in a single sentence.I think when you read them you will agree that these cliches need to go. If you use them, dear writer, I pray you revise them right out of your narrative. I hope I never use any of these horrible cliches I’m about to list.
The beef I have with modern fiction is that it tends to wax cliche more often than not. I’m so glad I have a Kindle Paperwhite, because if I had to buy all the books I read my house would be full of them. I am in many ways like Henry Bemis in “Time Enough At Last”, adapted from a Lyne Venable short story which chronicles the sad life of a chronic reader. Mostly, however, I read because I love to read. I’m a reader because all good writers are readers.
