Clichés: Avoid them like the plague
I found a great site that lists many clichés, in alphabetical order: http://www.suspense.net/whitefish/cliche.htm. As any self-respecting writer, I’ve been chasing them out of my prose, but they have a way of sneaking in when you don’t pay attention. Why? Because they’re easy, descriptive, and understood by everybody. That’s why they’ve become clichés.
