Cliches and Writing

Have you ever noticed that so many pieces of advice given by writers to writers are just cliches? Then they tell us not to write in cliches. It's just beautiful.

Here are some cliches for thought:
Show, Don't Tell
Write What You Know
Writers Write
Criticize the manuscript, not the author.
You must finish what you start.

And with that lovely start of a list, I think I'd better get back to the actual writing.
