Hello it's Peter here again from writerslife.org
and today we're going to talk about how
to avoid writing cliches it can be
pretty tough to write an entire novel
without slipping into certain cliches
however there's not much that will turn
your reader off faster cliches tend to
interrupt the flow of the story and show
an absolute lack of imagination and
creativity from the writer if you are
trying to get a publishing deal and your
book is full of cliches not only in your
writing but also using a cliched an idea
no publisher is going to bind it's not
easy to avoid writing cliches altogether
and often we use them without even
noticing we're doing it so how can we
weed them out or better still prevent
them entirely here are some useful tips
first don't steal other writers ideas
some plots have just been done to death
and they have been written and rewritten
so many times it's almost impossible to
avoid falling into the trap of a cliche
if you choose to focus your story around
them when writing a book your idea needs
to be unique make publishers editors and
most importantly your readers sit up and
take notice of something that hasn't
been done before next avoid being overly
sensational there is a myriad of moving
subjects to choose from when writing a
book and lots of great books have murder
car crashes bombs going off Wars descent
into madness and so on as part of their
plots
however these sensational subjects can
be challenging to write without falling
into cliches this doesn't mean you can't
tell stories that include
these elements but what do you do pay
attention pay particular attention to
your writing and be alert for any
cliches that may appear and next make
the ordinary extraordinary one good way
of avoiding cliched writing is by
turning everyday events and occurrences
it's a beautiful you need unusual
life-changing adventures it's more of a
challenge but by focusing on smaller
more unusual things that happen in
everyday life or taking something that
we are all familiar with yet making it
suddenly breathtaking or extraordinary
is a great skill to have as a writer and
next tell your story the way you want to
no one can tell your story or share your
experiences the way you do if you
continue to write cliches it suggests
that you are not being honest with
yourself you have a unique perspective
and an original voice tap into that use
it instead of borrowing from others or
retelling a story that wasn't yours to
tell in the first place and next be
authentic cliched writing often becomes
that way because it's not true to real
life try to avoid injecting your book
with melodrama when it's not necessary
you'll only end up creating a story that
doesn't resonate with an audience and
lacks the authenticity necessary to
connect with your readers by using these
tips you can eliminate cliches from your
writing and create powerfully original
stories that really are entirely
different than anything else and don't
forget if you're struggling to write or
finish your book our free writers

how to overcome procrastination
yet organized stay focused find time to
write and finally get your book
