I’m guilty of cliches and I hang my head in shame. I’m guilty of using adverbs in vain effort to adeptly increase the beauty of my writing. Guilty and ready for rehabilitation.

So do yourself a favor. All you who are in any form of creative work that uses words, check this site out and go through each tool one by one. Hopefully you can avoid bland “first-level” creativity and take your writing deeper where it evokes not merely a nod of recognition but a double-take.
