An In-Depth Analysis of the Horror Genre

 Hi everyone! Today I will be starting my In-Depth Analysis of certain genres series. In this series I shall be analysing the type of language used, common tropes in this genre, plot progression and how the genre meshes well with other genres, for each genre. Consider this a late Halloween treat! 😊 A GENERAL INTRODUCTION: Ever liked the feeling when your eyes scan a page and then jump off whatever you are sitting on in fear? Does it give you a thrill to be terrified of what is written on the paper? Then reading horror books is right up your alley. There is variety in what horror fiction you can read, especially nowadays, however they all follow a special formula that I will explaining in further detail in this post. There are also special techniques in order to write effective "jump out of your wits" stories, mainly the language and certain tropes used. Finally I shall be examining on how the genre compares to and mixes together with other genres. Enjoy! LANGUAGE USED: All s...

Representation I : Anxiety and Depression in Literature

 Hi everyone! Today I will start one of my Writing Tips series and it's a topic that is a hot potato yet one that every writer has to eventually face: Representation of Certain Groups in Literature. As you may all know, there is a certain demand for people not part of the dominant culture to be represented and this includes all the Artistic subjects, including Literature. But it is not a question of doing it. It is a question of doing it correctly. How does one come about this, you may all be asking? This is what this series is going to unravel, tackling one group at a time each week. After all, as being proven in recent times, representation does matter!

Introduction to My Blog: Framona's Friday Fiascos

 Hey there! I am Framona the Miraculer and I am an aspiring author. I have wanted to express my knowledge and opinions on all things having to do with writing and books for quite a while now, which is the reason why I have created this blog. This blog is aimed at the Writing Community and all those who wish to enter the realm of writing. There is a saying that the pen is mightier than the sword and this is certainly true in this case. Features will include tips for both budding and experienced writers to develop all factors of their books, book reviews and fun articles revolving around the power of the written word.  When I'm not writing, I will either be studying, playing my favourite sport in the world (badminton), scrolling Twitter, watching videos on YouTube, just being a Lego aficionado, singing, watching Food Network (usually Guy's Grocery Games) or just hanging out with friends. I am also a fan of Animated Media, from CGI films such as Zootopia and 2D films like Robin H...
