I get a kick out of cliche lists. I like to satirize cliches, and these lists give me ideas to work with.
That being said, if your work is built around one of these cliches, it needs to redefine the cliche or satirize it.
be creative!

what's everyone reading this month?
I just finished the lovely bones. A bit disappointed with the hum drum ending and the message ....well, read and see. I have a feeling many writers and most readers can identify with the message, but they might not want a character to abide by it in a novel. Most characters lives are just extreme enough to call for a strong ending to their story.
If you follow someone around for 300 or so pages, you want to see a resolution to their problems that has a bit more teeth.
Lycan Blood in Kindle « Cussedness' Weblog
Serpent’s Quest, volume 1 of my Lycan Blood series, is finally out in kindle editions.
It’s a bargain at $1 for novel that comes in around 125k words. That’s a whole lot of reading for a buck.
Book two in the series, Fireborn Law, is also out in the kindle edition.
And the makes things better, the third and fourth books in the series will be up by Monday.
Amazon now has a free software download that will allow you to read kindle books on your computer.
Steven Beeho sent it back to me, just chock full of lovely red ink. I like to see he's on the ball. I make a lot of typos, being dyslexic with short term memory problems, and he's watching my back. Bless him.
Jim Reichert has sent us his comic sf story, Oops! It's a hoot. Will run it in the next issue, along with a book review of Crystalwizard's
Villenspell: City of
Wizards
