But First: We had two amazing writers visit this week. If you haven't already, take a few moments to scroll back and check out this week's posts by Lori N. Spielman and Susan Kay Quinn.
Freebie: Laura Eno's Jewel of Shaylar, Book 1 of the Kingdoms of Chandra, is FREE at Smashwords until July 31ST. CLICK HERE and use code SW100 when checking out.
Do You Stereotype: I try to steer clear of stereotyping. but I imagine I do, at least to an extent. But other writers will stereotype in the name of free speech.
Speaking of stereotyping, I think of this beginning clip from Undercover Brother starring Eddie Griffin. Love this opening scene. If you haven't seen this it's definitely worth renting. It Ain't No Thing.

I think we all stereotype to an extent. Stereotypes exist for a reason, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, and stereotypes - sometimes it's hard not to - have you seen reality TV lately?
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
This made me think that perhaps we are all stereo types in one way or another, looking around different places I have been to over the years I have seen quite a bit of that and of course there's the TV.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week-end.

Yolanda brings up a great point. Reality TV has brought stereotyping to a whole new level.
ReplyDeleteLike Alex, I do think stereotypes exist for a reason, so for some characters, they will be more like their stereotype, but others will not.
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to get Laura's book this week, I know it will be a great read. Thanks for the laughs, I've never seen that movie.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I have to admit to creating some stereotypes in my older novel attempts. I have some planned for my new WIP, but now it's different -- now I call them archetypes! lol
ReplyDeleteSometimes I tend to fall into the stereotype mode.
ReplyDeleteLexa brings up a good point: archetypes. Thanks Lexa for the pertinent follow up post.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve .. love the video - looks like I need some driving skills to keep my drink from spilling ...
ReplyDeleteWe all do stereotypes along the way somewhere ... I must get Laura's offer ..
Cheers and have a fun weekend with the family - Hilary
I only stereo-type a little, not enough to get too noticed :)
ReplyDeleteLove love the baby picture.

Now that's some driving skills. Not a drop of pop was spilled in the making of that clip. : )
