'If I was to stretch this issue’s theme to the nth degree of breaking point of no return, etc., I’d have one mixed metaphor on my hands but also a tidy example of how clichés are like copying and pasting. In case that sentence did your head in, let me elaborate. Through reusing or abusing familiar imagery and sentence constructions, writing can become less of a creative exercise and more of a cobbled together Command + C + V Word doc. That is to say, clichéd. And when you’re starting out as a writer, it’s natural for your imagination to default to this setting without realising.' (Introduction)
