Titus 2:2 "That the
aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in
patience."
Writing is condemned for
the use of stereotypes. A stereotype is a character that has been overused and
is no different from the same character in many other works.
When characters are
nothing but a stereotype, readers get bored and disengage from the story. But
stereotypes can help when we’re writing the first draft of a story.
The trick is not to leave the character or the setting as nothing but a stereotype. We’ll need to make changes, turn details upside down, and add substance to our characters and settings so they are distinguishable as unique to our stories.
