I came across an excellent posting by Jodi Wisenhunt about the top ten ways NOT to improve your writing. Since it's such a complete and concise list, I'd like to share it with those of you who follow my blog. Here's the link: Aim For Perfection Editing.
My favorite on the list (and also a pet peeve) is number seven:
7) Use cute little "catch phrases" and be sure to place quotation marks around them so the reader "gets" it.
Read the list to see if you find yourself involved with any of the "no-no's."
My thanks to Ms. Wisenhunt.
