012 Clichés & Barbara Sue

Clichés are often used when we don't know what else to say.  In this episode I cover many sayings and clichés that have been used over the years and share a excerpt from an article called "681 Clichés to avoid in your creative writing".  Here is the link to that article:   https://www.be-a-better-writer.com/cliches.html   I also will introduce you to Barbara Sue and remind you that "It's never the wrong time to do the right thing".

As always I would love to hear how this podcast is adding value to your life.  Leave comments or email me directly at jaredwspeaker@gmail.com
