This book is a gathering of clichéd story openings, plot lines, etc. Each chapter will focus on a different one.
Clichés aren't bad. But they can be horrendous when we use them exactly the same way as everyone else. That's how they come to be overused. The purpose of this book is to help you recognize what's common, so you can elevate your story to the next level. Own the cliche. Make it unique, make it yours. Make it worthwhile.
It's boring to read about any old dark, stormy night, but plenty of real nights are actually dark and stormy. Show us what makes yours special.
