What not to do in Writing, Part 3
This one has to do with a single rule (see part 1 and part 2: Don’t use cliche openings. Inspired by the last two, I made this into one big cliche’d story (original). I’m not editing this mess. TW – mixed tenses. It was a dark and stormy night during the best of times and…
