Mmm, I may be guilty of including cliches when I write. I can tell it is a cliche because I know it’s something I’ve heard over and over again.
Go to Mary DeMuth, So You Want to Be Published Blog to see which cliches you have been guilty of using in your own writing.
These are a few I recognize:
Kimberly Winston of Publishers Weekly writes “You could say there’s not a lot of suspense in Christian suspense. In the battle between good and evil, good always wins; if there is violence, the worst happens off-page; and if the main character is a woman, she’ll wind up with the right guy in the end. But publishers say one important thing has changed—in today’s Christian suspense, plot drives the story and the Christian message takes a backseat.”
I’m an Itunes fan. I found the Grammar Girl podcast last year and have really found it to be helpful. While I love to write, I have to admit I can mess up some grammar.
You can visit the Website or Itunes to listen to Grammar Girl – Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing. Here is a video that introduces Mignon Fogerty, the woman behind Grammar Girl.
