Thanks for the tips im definantly going to use them!!!!!!!!!

This is the problem I have. How do you know what words or phrases are cliche? I mean, you've given a few examples, but how do you determine what's cliche and what's not in order to avoid writing them?

Sorry I never got back to you in your thread about this. As previously mentioned, unless used very carefully, phrases about "darkness", "shadows" or other "evil" concepts are incredibly cliche. In general, many destructive themes, such as flames, fire, and the like can also appeared cliched. What I would do is think about the basic ideas and feelings those concepts represent, and instead of using that word which is cliched, think of another one that represents similar feelings or concepts.

Thesauruses can work wonders if you're stuck on words.

Hope this helps.
