I do, Wendy. I really do. Unfortunately, I also already covered Cliffhangers in #2. Sorry.

So true. Me and the League of Evil Writers are big fans of interruptors, not just Jimmy, but Lex and Herb Wells, too, and on rare occusions the Kents and Perry. I was looking for something more generic though, because if we slap it on a T-shirt (for the fundraiser) we don't want those DC copyright people mad at us. Do you mind if I edit it to be:
5) "every road your characters find to true love, happiness, or even a simple kiss is filled with potholes, guided missiles, and/or mutant frogs." (potholes being a figurative Jimmy, guided missiles comes from literally from Shayne Terry's
Fugue , and the last being a reference to clones, of course). Let me know if this is as an acceptable replacement.
Yes, Kryptonite does help in us, sometimes literally, torture our favorite flying superhero. A little bit more specific than what I was hoping for. How about: "Fatal Flaw"? Although, technically that isn't one word. Let me know what you come up with, or if you want me to work it into something finishing the phrase...
You Know You're An Evil Writer When...8. "Angst is your best friend."
(or perhaps I was in such a rush, I didn't notice that it was flagged. 
)
