5 Ways to Un-Cliche' a Cliche

Nov 30, 2011

EDIT: If you like this journal entry, check out The Sarcastic Guide to Writing ebook http://www.amazon.com/The-Sarcastic-Guide-Writing-ebook/dp/B005TOCC1C for exclusive content on world-building, character, and dialogue! 1. Do your damn research. I can't stress this enough. We live in the freaking Information Age, and the concept of Googling is an alien one to too many people. While I could easily go on a rant about anti-intellectualism, I'll rein it in and say that cliché' is largely anachronistic. People use them because they're familiar, not necessarily what's true.

Disembarking the Internet

0 min read

Apologies for being scarce. I've spent the past three months picking myself up after something of a breakdown - art-related and work-related, not internet-related - and have been more-or-less avoiding this place. This journal is not a sign that I'm back, it's a sign that I'm gone. I will be leaving dA and most of the internet for a year or so, and this account I will leave permanently. I bear no animosity towards it or anyone who watches me, but right now I need to compeltely restart things. I have no plans for posting my new account here, should I make one, but this may change as my mental state does. So long, keep safe, have fun. Thanks f
