Re: *applauds*

I'm in the middle of writing an essay atm...so I know what you mean about being out of it.

I'm thinking a discussion about character development. It seems to be something a lot of writers are neglecting. People change after all, but people either ignore it, or take it to an extreme.

Also a discussion of plot cliche, in reference to HP fiction but also in reference to fiction in general. You should not be able to guess the plot of an entire story after reading one chapter, but you have to be able to lead your reader to it...Should probably call this a discussion of foreshadowing.

Those are two I can think of off the top of my head. Once I get through with my essay, I might even post one of them...or someone else could do it for me. (I am not up to writing anything too coherent atm)
