Cliche Writing Novels & Stories

Overwhelming silence. So, in return, he writes what he feels. He writes what he wants to achieve in his novels. He write those cliche plots, those expected endings, just those little things every hopeless romantic would like to have. The butterflies in the stomach, someone falling head over heels, an enemy x enemy trope, or high school love story. Just those typical stories online. Everything is so ordinary, and yet he still have fun writing them and he thinks that's what matters. He wants to be independent, but to do that, he needs to step out of his comfort zone.

"Formulaic emotional responses that hit familiar beats without genuine feeling behind them. Your characters fall in love because the plot requires it, not because they're genuinely compelled by each other in ways that surprise them." Jake opened another manuscript her previous novel, *Dangerous Devotion* to a section covered in red marks. "This scene where your hero declares his feelings. He says, 'You make me want to be a better man.' Do you know how many romance heroes have said exactly those words? It's a cliché that signals emotional depth without actually providing any." Emma stared at the marked-up pages, seeing her carefully crafted scenes through Jake's unforgiving analytical lens. "

While they appear in good writing every so often, clichés are mostly boring unless you have a unique spin on them or can integrate them in a way that doesn’t seem tired. Embrace re-reading. Editing isn’t a one-off process, and chances are you’ll need multiple read-throughs in order to find all of your weak sentences, grammar mistakes, punctuation errors, and spelling errors. Mind your syntax. Be on the lookout for issues with grammar and word choice. Certain words can change the whole mood or feeling of a piece, and using weak verbs and weak adjectives will only exacerbate that. Make sure your writing feels strong and clear, and use a thesaurus with caution. If you’re not exactly sure how to

“Mooove it along, bitch!” “Seems originality is dead.” I groan, exasperated, with this repetitive conversation. “Seriously, it’s been two years of the same shitty insults. Come up with better material.” “What we lack in creativity,” Claudia’s minion says, flipping her hair over her shoulder. “We make up in effectiveness.”

“As a writer, it’s an instinct to get my facts right.” “As a writer, it’s also your job to get into people’s heads. Just imagine you’re the protagonist and I'm your love interest. I had an accident and now you’ll cure me. We meet, fall in love and all that cliche.” She gapes and glares at me as if I’ve burned her favourite piece of work. “Wow, you just defined my eight years of career life in five seconds. Why don’t you write a ‘cliche’ if you think it’s that easy?”

Hindi ko gamay ang pacing at flow ng teen fiction but I'll try my best to satisfy you. Sige, samahan niyo akong MAG-CRINGE. I write cliché stories, sorry! Expect sudden changes of Medium/Language.

"Oh, please! I'm nothing like those sickly annoying cliches the teenagers fawn about. Tell me one thing that's cliche about me, I dare you." I smirked at him. "Hmm... let's see." I thought for a while and made a show of counting my fingers as I started listing out. "For one, you're that cliched youngest billionaire, the most eligible bachelor." I made finger quotation gesture at that. "And oh, how can I forget the arrogant, rude, ruthless, cold, stone-hearted, cru-"

he continued and it changed my mood. I've been writing cliché short stories since I was nine. And I always end it with sad endings because honestly, I don't know how to justify happy endings. Everytime I show it to Dad for him to read it , he'll say I shouldn't make it as a habit to kill my characters, but I don't know how to get rid of it.

Taylor says, moving closer to him. “But if you didn't kill them-” Liv begins. “Please, don't finish that sentence if you are going to say, 'then who did?' That is the most overused cliché line ever and I would probably have to shoot you and put us both out of our misery.” Taylor sneers at Liv. “Like, geez, please try harder to fit the those lame victim sterotypes.” “Please, try harder to be a bitch!” Liv snaps at her. “Besides.. I'm the cliché? You are so many sterotypes rolled into one crazy ass package, I can't even begin to name them all. But I can try..”

It’s clearly going to capture readers’ interest even if they can tell what’s roughly going to happen because it’s quite cliché. It’s tough in the fiction market- you can write the most brilliant and unique story, but readers will pass it up in favour of a cliché and substanceless story.” Zach could understand the frustration of authors trying to write their magnum opus and having it continually rejected by different publishers in favour of much trashier stories. It was undeniably hard to make it as an author in certain genres.
