Monday DE: Out Of You And Your Mumptions

[splash_of_blue]

Once again, I come back to the fact that I never could get the hang of Mondays.

Anyway...

Cliches and stereotypes might be wrong, but some of them are fun anyway. What cliches do you love best, either to use or subvert or both, in your own writing?

For example, I love the understated, dryly ironic Brit - while my pup Molly will deliberately play up the L.A. 'valley girl' stereotype if she wants someone to underestimate her (or just to mess with them, honestly).

If you'd like some writing prompts, post a list of your characters - others can reply with some cliches or stereotypes as prompts!

I love the understated badass. The nerd that just seems harmless who wrecks shit up when the need is there.

I also love broken people who refuse to be cruel or hateful.

Found family!!!
