How many times have you read a book and thought: \u2018Now, where have I read this before?\u2019 That is one of the first indications that you\u2019ve entered into clich\u00e9<\/a> territory. The word \u2018clich\u00e9\u2019 can be pretty vague with people often wondering what exactly it could mean. What are clich\u00e9s in writing and why are they considered so harmful? This article will not only explore what they are, but also how to avoid using them in your writing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In layman\u2019s terms, clich\u00e9s are phrases and expressions that have been so grossly overused with time that they\u2019ve become largely meaningless. How many times have you read \u2018in a nutshell\u2019 and thought: not this again! That\u2019s exactly what a clich\u00e9 does. It tends to annoy the reader to the point that they simply overlook or ignore the clich\u00e9s in the writing, or worse, put down the book altogether.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples Of Clich\u00e9s<\/strong> In Writing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many examples of clich\u00e9s, such as \u2018one bird in hand is better than the two in the bush\u2019, \u2018a chip off the old block\u2019, or \u2018laughter is the best medicine\u2019. They might have been in vogue many years ago, but due to overuse, they\u2019ve become tedious. However, clich\u00e9s can also be found in descriptions <\/a>and overall themes<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Delicate Heroine And The Strong-Jawed Hero<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These descriptions are found in so many books that they\u2019ve effectively become clich\u00e9s. The \u2018delicate as a daisy\u2019 heroine who falls in love with the dark, handsome and athletic hero. While this may have once been very popular, and still has a lot of fans, most readers want to steer clear of this storyline. They\u2019re more interested in three dimensional characters<\/a>. Even when using this specific storyline, you can easily turn this clich\u00e9 into an original concept and explore why the heroine is delicate and good-natured. What happened in her life that made her like that? How do the trials and tribulations of life awaken a darker side to her character<\/a>? Now, we have something the reader would be more interested in reading. Similarly, the dark and handsome man could have a back story<\/a> which allows us to envision him as a three-dimensional character.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gone Girl<\/em> by Gillian Flynn is an excellent example of a story that defies all sort of clich\u00e9s. It is a bold and original idea which is why it took off so well upon publication. Readers simply couldn\u2019t get enough of Amy and Nick Dunne precisely because they were so unexpected.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Dreams Or The Weather To Start A Book<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting off a book with a dream may sound like a brilliant idea, but it is not the most inventive. It has been used many times in the past to the point that readers quite simply skim through this to get to the actual content. Similarly, using the weather as a prop is also an example of a clich\u00e9. If the weather is somehow pushing the plot forward, then that is acceptable, but using it just for the sake of it is unoriginal and meaningless. Similarly, if the dream sequence is doing something to help the story along, then it makes sense, but including it just to increase the word count would not be a wise idea.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Well-Worn Plot Lines That Readers Have Become Well Versed To<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How much do you look forward to reading about a love triangle? Not much, right? It is such an overused trope<\/a> that most readers simply sigh when they encounter two people who\u2019ve fallen in love with the same person. In the past, this storyline has worked really well, but precisely because of that, it has become a bit of a clich\u00e9 now. People want to read something different, something that takes them out of their comfort zone. If you add the demands of technology and social media<\/a> with people not having enough time, it is more important than ever for stories to be fresh and fast-paced. If there\u2019s a twist<\/a> to the old love triangle, then that may be worth exploring, but it is easy for the traditional love triangle to become a clich\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Avoid Clich\u00e9s<\/strong> In Writing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It may not be possible to completely avoid all the types of clich\u00e9 in your writing, but you can definitely weed out most of them if you try. First of all, it is very important to edit<\/a> and proofread <\/a>your work. That in itself helps in highlighting any clich\u00e9s that you may have used. The key is to put some time between writing<\/a> and editing<\/a>. Once you\u2019re done writing your book or story, put it in a drawer and forget about it for a few weeks or a month. Afterwards, when you look at it with a fresh set of eyes, the clich\u00e9s will jump right at you. It will be much easier to catch them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While editing your work, pay close attention to sentences<\/a> or passages that bore you or sound rehearsed. Chances are that those are clich\u00e9s. For example, if you have used the weather to initiate conversation between two characters, try making the weather an important factor in the plot<\/a>, or maybe change the thread of the conversation entirely. Changing the overall tone of the sentence or completely rephrasing it can also help in eliminating clich\u00e9s.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way to avoid clich\u00e9s is to think outside the box. Even if you\u2019re writing a stereotypical plot that veers into clich\u00e9 territory like a love triangle<\/a>, adding original ideas can help make it stand out. The Twilight Saga<\/em> by Stephenie Meyer might feature a traditional love triangle, but the reason it became such a huge hit is that Meyer added the vampire and werewolf<\/a> element to help the plot stand out. In addition to that, there were other more complex plot strings that helped the series rise above the competition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Should We Avoid Clich\u00e9s?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reason for avoiding is simple: readers don\u2019t want to read them. Not only do they make the writing seem clunky and boring, but they can also transform a perfectly fresh idea into a stale mess. Often our brains simply skim this kind of writing as it sounds repetitive or rehashed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, clich\u00e9s are not good for a writer\u2019s reputation. Using too many of these phrases and descriptions can cause you to be accused of being lazy or sloppy. Even if the novel is exploring a fresh idea that hasn\u2019t been attempted in the past, the use of clich\u00e9s can ruin its overall effect which is the last thing a writer could want.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason to avoid clich\u00e9s is that they can make the writing look shallow especially where it shouldn\u2019t. Imagine for a moment that you\u2019re writing a very tense scene between the two protagonists<\/a> in your novel which will serve as a climax of sorts, and at the opportune moment, one of the characters ends up saying, \u2018what goes around comes around.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only would this deflate the entire scene<\/a>, but it might actually make the reader abandon the book altogether because of course they\u2019d expect something deeper from the character<\/a> considering it\u2019s the climax.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Clich\u00e9s<\/strong> Necessarily A Bad Thing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I think the general consensus will remain that clich\u00e9s in writing should be avoided. They make the writing seem dull, sloppy and uninspiring. They squeeze the life out of an interesting plot. However, in some cases, it may not be a bad thing to include a clich\u00e9 or two especially when it looks like readers might be looking for something familiar<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of it like when editors ask writers to use fewer adjectives and adverbs, or to use them when it is absolutely necessary. The same could apply for clich\u00e9s. Sometimes, it could be imperative to use a familiar phrase, or indeed, to repeat something for greater impact. Readers might enjoy the familiarity and that could help them immerse themselves in the book more.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoiding Clich\u00e9s<\/strong><\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking at the above points, it is pretty obvious that clich\u00e9s<\/a> can dampen or completely ruin the impact of good writing. They include phrases, similes, metaphors<\/a> or descriptions<\/a> that have lost their meaning over time and are just easily overlooked and ignored by readers. Using too many clich\u00e9s in writing can make writers look lazy and unoriginal.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to avoid clich\u00e9s by thoroughly editing and proofreading any work you produce and being more aware of what you are writing. Obviously, nobody plans on writing clich\u00e9s\u2026 they have a knack for finding their way into a piece of writing. The key is to keep an eye out. The more clich\u00e9s that are eliminated, the better and less clunky the writing will be.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While in some cases it may be pertinent to include a clich\u00e9 or two for familiarity or effect, for the most part, clich\u00e9s should be avoided to make your writing stand out. Readers today are looking for fresh, authentic voices<\/a> with plots that shock and enthral them in equal measure. There is no room for clich\u00e9s anymore.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
