KWL Live Q&A – Exploring Romance Writing Tropes with Jennifer Hilt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4hRNLhro-Q


MY COMMENTS
from tropus, latin for a turn
interesting , a cliche is a underdevelped trope
what is the most well known example of forced proximity Ms Hilt?
thank you Ms Hilt , sci fi , I remember farscape, stuck on a ship can be romantic
Her Book, the Trope Thesaurus [ https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/the-trope-thesaurus
ms hilt, What trope in your reading experience is the hardest to utilize in romance? 
GOal/Motivation/conflict
if yu know anime, the love between vegeta and bulma in dragonballz is interesting asit grows with very little romantic interaction
is the happy indian a trope or a cliche, concerning monkey man film with patel, which i think is going against it 
your thoughts on 50 shades? 
I think a good movie example of love story that is not how people think romance is the film "random Hearts"
great point ms hilt
@Collean O'Brien like the old carnival thing with a hammer and knock up the hammer
good question Laura, too many tropes in one book 
thanks for saying that as a female writer/reader  said the same Jennifer, about the lead characters in 50 shades or twilight, 
@Collean O'Brien  do it for the covers as well, trope meter for covers
good point on speed of capitalization Ms Hilt 
Most authors don't but some do Collean , the key is to be honest about how you like to write, don't chase if you are not a writing runner @Collean O'Brien 
tolkien himself simply took time and bult his world over time 
@Collean O'Brien  I never think about a series, just the entire journey to the end. no matter the length. I don't like to extend story for the sake and that is a risk when you think of seires 
please defien alpha hole?
hahaha:) @Collean O'Brien  there are many types of women in this world:) 
do you like lone wolf and cub Mr Hilt?
MS Hilt, have you ever wrote a character with a trope you don't like?
