Any story would begin with "Once upon a time" or "In a far off land". Don't get me wrong, I love a good story, but not with your typical happy endings. I like twists, ones where the bad guys win or where the good guys turn out to be the bad guys.
I used to write a lot of horror (well tried to😁) Anyway, I wrote about kids growing to be serial killers cause of things that happened to them in the past.
I started not to like it cause I was being a fuckin cliche, I had better ideas then a girl or boy getting bullied or abused to insanity.
When I write I try to imagine myself in the scenario I put my characters in, I feel like it's easier to think of how to make sense of the story...And yes it must make sense!
I understand that a story is a story but some things have to make sense, there's a reason for everything...well not everything some things aren't meant to be understood...😖
Anyway! I never understood what were so wrong with cliches until I graduated...Cliches are boring.
The guy saves the girl? The girl saves the guy? Eh..Prince Charming?
Instead of a pretty boy, what about a girl being prince charming?
Instead of a bully torturing the victim, why can't the bully be afraid of the victim...well in that case the bully wouldn't be a bully and the victim wouldn't be a victim.
Ok I know it's confusing but believe me a writer doesn't take Romeo and Juliet and copy the story with different names, they make their own story. (Ex: boy x boy or girl x girl) That kind of shit😛
Life isn't a cliche, so why should a story be.
(Ok that's it for now I'm not writing everyday I have a fucking life too😁 but bye for now)
