It’s sure been a minute. Perhaps while I struggle to finish Book 3 of the Bloodstone Dagger, I should continue on with my In Defense of Tropes blog series. Next up: the ancient and ubiquitous Damsel in Distress. But is there anything defendable about this one? Turns out yes… if you value a little thing called all life on earth.

In this third instalment of my In Defense of Tropes blog series, I explore the most overdone trope in all of existence. The Chosen One. But, is it truly overdone or just badly done?

My blogspace is primarily used to document my personal experiences as an author and not for opinion pieces. However, I figure, since expo season has dried up due to COVID-19, I’ve taken to writing a blog series about literary tropes and why authors shouldn’t shy away from them.
