Day 71: Re-read your novel again...

"...and look just for the cliches. Cut: “one fell swoop,” “pretty as a picture,” “in my mind’s eye,” “right as rain.”"

Oh man, this is my problem: what are counted as "cliches" and what are not? I don't even know what "one fell swoop" or "right as rain" means...I know pretty as a picture is cliche though. I use different expressions. Actually, I don't like cliches and strive to avoid them. People should not see too many cliches in my story.
