A Take on Cliches

My attention was drawn to a blog from author and speaker, Leslie Wilson, who cautions writers about using cliches. These are overworked phrases that are trite andscream "weak writing" to editors. While the message is important, her article is funny since she's written the entire thing in cliches. It will give you a taste of why cliches detract from a fresh writing style. If you'd like to read No Really: Kill Your Cliches, hit the link below and get a chuckle as well as a great understanding of why not to use cliches.
