Question of the day part 6

--- Quote from: mare on August 18, 2012, 04:04:21 PM ---But here's another question, if you could get rid of one completely overused plot in the genre you feel most comfortable writing in, which one would it be? I say the genre you write in to avoid the easiest boy meets girl answer most of us would have lol
Or you could name a plot for each genre if you write in multiple ones, like:
'
Drama:
Comedy:
Suspense:
etc...

Honestly, I can't think of an overused plot I would like to get rid of in the genres I enjoy. In drama, the disease stories and accident stories and so forth are all things that I like reading about LOL. Same with suspense and the stalker/kidnapper/crazy fan stories. As long as the story is written well, I don't care if it has the same basic premise as five other stories I've read. If you go through my favorites, you will see multiple stories that fall under the same category of plot.
mare:
Yeah i'm not sure if there's anything I wouldn't want to read of my favorite genres. I guess that's a stupid question so we'll go with any genre I guess but you can't say boy meets girl! lmao
I can say the type of stories that don't appeal to me are the ones that aren't about the boys at all. They can go away. Like stories about the kids of the guys or the wives of the guys or siblings or cousins twice removed... If it's not about the boys, they can leave and never come back.
RokofAges75:
I'm not a fan of the stories about random family members, especially fictional ones, either. But to each their own, I guess! As long as there are still stories being written that I want to read, I'm good.

So does this ever happen to anyone else? You plan out a story, you write the story, you get through the beginning and the middle while envisioning the epic ending in your head, and when you finally get to the climax of the story, which you've been waiting four years to write, the words just don't pour out the way you thought they would?
This is what I'm dealing with right now, and argh, it's so frustrating!!! I want to finish this story this weekend before I go back to school, and I'm on the second to last chapter, and it should be exciting and dramatic and bloody and everything I love, but it's just not flowing for me. I'm debating whether to just keep forcing it out so I can finish the thing or quit and wait for a time when I have less on my mind.
mare:
^ that is the worst and most annoying thing ever! I hate when that happens! No matter how many times you have pictured it in your head, it just doesn't translate the way you want it to when you try to write it down lol
When that happens to me I usually force it out but then leave it for a few days and then when I look at it again a few days later I end up changing it around to how I wanted it to be or sometimes what I actually wrote is what I end up going with because i'm pleased with the turn out!
It's always those pivitol scenes! LOL
