Talking Tropes

Far from being “cheats” or ways to ride the coattails of other writers, the trope (and especially the romance trope) is the skeleton on which you build your glorious story. Merry walks Pru through tropes and smiles when Pru has the “EUREKA!” moment of realizing that the trope is also a hugely-valuable marketing tool. Ignorance is banished today!
