I have to apologize dear reader, I was too ignorant and foolhardy in my last post, honestly, what was I even thinking. I should have done more research before trying to come up with a new premise rather than go in guns blazing hoping for the best.

.

Just between you and me, those concepts yesterday-me talked about, they were just horrible, but don’t tell him that, knowing him he probably wouldn’t be able to handle that critique. Luckily today I am better prepared reader, over the last twenty-four hours I have absorbed, nay, ingrained the very essence of tropes and clichés into my very being and I believe I have found the answer to my quandaries.

.

.

The answers being that I’m not very creative at all. I wasn’t sure at first, after all everyone can make a mistake or two, but no, I have not a single creative bone in my body.

.

.

However, I will not let this lack of innate skill stop me dear reader, if I must then I shall, through the use of nothing more than my own unadulterated willpower, make a masterpiece that will make even the heavens shed a tear.

.

.

.

Of joy, of course.

“So what are you going to do then?” you might ask yourself dear reader, well during my intensive training session I did not solely get a feel of tropes and clichés, but I came to a realization that may come as a shock to many, maybe I was too rigid in my thinking. I know, I know, me making a lapse of judgment? Perish the thought no, instead I would like to think that I have clouded my own view of the literary arts.

Maybe, my hostility towards tropes led me away from what is truly necessary for an author to do which is to make readers feel connected with his art, whether that requires the use of literary shortcuts or not.

.

So, with that self admission of failure aside, I would like to announce that I’m working on a new fiction. I cannot spoil anything just yet, but know that it shall be a serious project of passion.
