She could fly, but she couldn't spell medieval.

"Say 'I do'." "I do NOT."

In Australia, they have to wrestle a marsupial. It's trial by wombat. I'll get my coat.

Hello there, not new person!

I couldn't be doing with biology. Physics was my thing. Although when we learned about the four-stroke engine, "suck, squeeze, bang, blow" would have been more interesting in biology, I reckon.

If he did it once, I'd think he was drunk. If he did it *all the time*, then it's consistent. Consistent is realistic, not real. That's modern literary sensibility and requirement. It's not always what I write, either.

Paper bills? It's the 21st century, dude.

Believability of action. It's fine if the character does something out of character, as long as you can make the reader believe that. You can write Hitler suddenly deciding to go off and be a nun, if you can make it make sense to the reader. If you write that it's because he liked the taste of...

Quite so. Thus, you have to write them to portray them as if they were, as far as possible. If the character is a committed carnivore, having him wake up one morning and decide that from then on, he was only going to eat quinoa, that's not going to work, unless you come up with a good reason...

I do take some objection to the way you put that. I don't "lord" it over them, I write to be as realistic as possible, given the flow of the story. Their development is something planned through the situations I put them in. Therefore, when I write a scene, I already know what they're going to...

Nope. Never have. If I start writing a character and then look back at what I've written and think something like "Oh, this suggests a possible romance", I either write it out if I don't want it, or consider how to use that direction and build it into the plot. I'm not really a discovery...

Welcome to the new(ish) forum!

I don't think there are any plot types I would reject out of hand. I've written plot types and genres I never thought I would write when I started off. If I can think of something interesting to do with it, then why not?

All my stories get rejected. This is something they have in common.

Because those particular stone circles have the features that make them henges. The fact that they're stone circles is irrelevant. You could remove the stones and they'd still be henges.
