This is a very good, very informative post. I’m currently looking for ways I can create better metaphors, and I think I got something out of your post to help me. Rethinking cliches by going back to their basics exploring the idea they’re trying to express, and then presenting that idea in your own words and using your own experience, I think that’s sage advice. Thanks a lot, Jade!
Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment Andrei! Really glad you got something out of it, and I appreciate your summary of the process here. Thanks again!

This was fabulous Jade! I teach a class on cliches in English and this reading will be tagged!
Well, color me flattered! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Great point, Jade. This is a lesson my sister, an author, taught me in my formative years and it has helped me immensely. Thanks for the refresher.
Thanks for reading! Always appreciate the support!
