Tropes provide structure, familiarity, and a sense of comfort, helping readers navigate the narrative quickly. But as any seasoned writer knows, overusing or relying too heavily on these tropes can lead to predictability and even dullness. This is where the art of subverting tropes comes in—breaking the mold of traditional storytelling to offer readers something fresh and surprising.

Advice for Writers
Seasonal prompts work best when approached with flexibility and creativity. Instead of treating prompts as rigid guidelines, think of them as starting points. For example, if a prompt mentions a solstice fire, you might write about the fire’s symbolic meaning, its physical setting, or its effect on the characters witnessing it.
As an aspiring author, you're not just a writer. You're a wordsmith, a literary maestro, a creator of worlds—and one of the most important tools in your arsenal is dialogue. Dialogue brings your characters to life, adds depth to your story, and keeps your readers hooked. But how do you write dialogue that truly wows?
