Throw the cliché in the trashé

Rafael Gama

By the way, what is a cliché?

Adapted from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clich%C3%A9

Where can I find cliché?
Kids movies, teens movies, romantic
comedies are mostly predictable.

Clichés and Writing
• When it comes to writing, a cliché needs to be
avoided, or even better, not used. Because…
• It’s not creative
• It’s boring and flat
• It can sound like something your grandmother would say
• It’s too colloquial and when you are writing you need a
certain formality
• Need more reasons? Here is the last and most
important:
Who wants to read the same tired expressions
used over and over? People want fresh and
exciting!

Substituting Clichés…

Why don’t you try instead…

“We sold out the whole stock in just a week. ”

cliches/

Substituting Clichés

Maybe it is better if you say…
• Don’t dwell fatuously on past misfortunes.

Substituting Clichés

Try instead….
Her eyes were like deep lakes of blue
reflecting the imponderable sky.

And Remember…..
BE CREATIVE!!!

Use your imagination and
intelligence to create
something fresh and
exciting that no one has
ever seem before!
