#WritersCoffeeClub Jan 13 - What’s your favorite trope? Do you lean into it for your work or shy away?

Tropes are tools from the writers toolbox. And all tools have specific uses.

If you're a carpenter, do you favour the hammer over the set-square? Do you use a drill at every opportunity?

No, because that'd be nonsensical.

And it's the sme with tropes in fiction: you use the ones that contribute to your goal.
