I feel like a fantasy cliche

[pbray]

I just made stew.

It's the peril of being a writer--at times I'll critique my own behavior as if I was a character in a scene. For today, I'd have to point out that I was a trifle cliched, and if the character hasn't made stew since college, is it really believable that she'd decide to make it today?

Hmm. Now I'm wondering if my creator is about to highlight and delete the last few hours and start over again. Good thing I'm not actually a character in someone else's story...

...or so they want me to believe.

*LAUGHS*

I have never done that. Now I fear I might begin!

Hmm, next you'll be saying that you don't hear voices in your head....

I don't, actually. I don't see pictures, either... :)

I'm lousy at visualization as well. But I'll hear lines of dialogue in my head, in my characters' unique voices.
