We're Changing Things Up in Here

OMG! Change! Hide me! HIDE ME!

I realize that I neglect this blog a little too much. So we're changing things up in here, as the title suggests. I'm going to post something every day from now on. But don't worry, not a long dragging thing that I usually do. The days when I don't have the time to post something long and dragging I'm going to post something short just to help you with your writing. And believe me, something short may actually help more because you can't use it to procrastinate like I know you do. That's right, I know what you do. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't count as writing if you just look at writing blogs. Understand? Good.

In addition, do you like the new layout? I understand that I'm changing it way too much, but at the same time I'm just trying to get it to look like what I envision.

Stock Character: Contender

Rocky Balboa is a Contender
stock: He loses the fight in
the end, but that was okay.

Contender

Stock Type: Hero

Hero Subtype: Reluctant Hero

The contender is the type of character that is a complete and total underdog who is expected to go up in competition of any sort against someone who shows much greater prowess than he. This can be anything, from boxing to baseball to swordplay. The contender usually has a kind of coach or mentor character watching over him and training him how to get better. While he may occasionally win, it is tradition that the stock character loses this major competition, but then he learns something from his failure and can sometimes try again. Some notable examples include Rocky Balboa, Daniel LaRusso, The Bad News Bears, Ryu, Ted "Wildcat" Grant, The Charlestown Chiefs, and Terry Bogard.
