^Oh, I do want to see that one.
Do you happen to have seen Kubo and the Two Strings? That ones pretty amazing.
Banten! You don't post links to random generators in a Random Generator Addicts Anonymous meeting! That's like bringing whiskey to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
I've only just realized that my big fantasy novel, companion book of short stories and poems, and my 'new' novel are literally just the same story told over and over again with barely anything changed.
Huh?Clive Cussler you are.
Huh?
My friend managed to convince me that my belief is not true, so now I feel a bit better.
You might not be familiar with Cussler: He has written probably a couple dozen thrillers - though I believe most were actually ghostwritten. Each follows the exact same plot:
First, a prologue, usually featuring an ancient maritime catastrophe. Then, modern day machinations that bring in Dirk Pitt, a sort of 'James Bond lite' character. Car chases. Assassins. Hot girls. Weird gadgets. A villain who is *always* stinking rich, and *always* engaged in something that intentionally or unintentionally threatens disaster for much of the world. Dramatic finish. The elements cited almost never vary.
The first couple were worthwhile (I was young then.) But reusing the same plot over and over again with almost no variation...that got old.

I used to be a heavy poster but now I see a post I want to reply to but don't have the energy. Or think of a post I want to write but don't have the energy.
