Do not put statements in the negative form. And don't start sentences with a conjunction. If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.

Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.

Umberto Eco

I seem to know all the cliches, but not how to put them together in a believable way.
