Clichés and what to do about them
The remarkable blog 101 Reasons to Stop Writing has a more-than-usually remarkable entry on clichés. The entry includes not only a rather well-written rant, but a list of sites where you can, masochistically, look up all sorts of clichés and moan in shame because you recognize them all, all, from your own oeuvre.
Self-knowledge is a painful, yet precious, thing....

I look at all those lists of Grand, overused SF and Fantasy cliches, and all I can think is 'yeah, that'd be a challenge, but I bet I could do *something* with it...'
Maybe for your post-doc. I hear there's grant money going for that sort of thing.
