Far as cliches go, one of my favorite things is twisting them 'round and 'round until something cool comes out of my mind.
Avoiding adverbs and cliches...
is overrated and unnecessary. The average reader doesn't even notice them unless it's something really egregious like "puzzledly".
What exactly is wrong with adverbs? I've never had any real training with writing, other that the general English course in college, so I'm genuinely curious. If you try to publish, will editors notice this and disapprove?

Ugh....so much stuff to know!!
Now I have to go back and scan my works for adverbs. Never noticed them before, so was never on the lookout to avoid their use. I should have taken that creative writing course when I was in college....
