for everyone
Here's a link: A Comprehensive And Totally Universal Listing Of Every Problem A Story Has Ever Had. It numbers them 1 to 25, with Problem 1 being more prevalent than Problem 25. Go on, read, and enjoy a good laugh, especially if you find problems that apply to your work!

The above link is care of Breaking Camp's Twitter.

("Breaking Camp's Twitter"?! Ever since "Frank Miller's Peanuts"--including the comments section--I've been writing phrases that just sound wrong. Must...break...pattern...somehow...naah...too...much...fun).

Why do I feel like "Frank Miller's Peanuts" will somehow be awesome?

@ekmisao: Heh. ;-P Ok lang 'yan. We all have that.

Better that than constipation, and I'm not referring to writing. (Hope you get the joke).

While I agree that there should be an "Other" category there to explain all the rejected works that don't fit into any of the prescribed issues, I still feel that it's a cop-out somehow. It puts a dubious end to an interesting article, a closing statement that says, "Despite all these, we still reserve the right to reject stuff because we don't like it."

Heh. But yeah, there is a subjective element to all of this. Go figure.

While I don't deny that there has to be a subjective element (sort of like the element of randomicity that creeps into practical physics), I don't like its inclusion as a definite item on the list. It could have been entered as a separate disclaimer, or something.
