Now let's talk about what is trite. 1
You can see I've listed a bunch of different synonyms here. 2
Cliche banal corny common, been done, over done, these all mean the same thing. 3
When something's considered to be trite it's because it lacks power to evoke interest because of overuse 4
or repetition. 5
This is something you should always be thinking about when you're creating any type of art if you ask 6
me. 7
It goes back to the idea we talked about earlier. 8
Try whatever you can to be and sound original - avoid these cliches like the plague. 9
Now this isn't something that comes naturally to most people but it will come in time with practice. 10
Most of your favorite artists and musicians. 11
It took them time to find their own voice so be patient with yourself just keep this concept in your 12
mind whenever you're writing anything. 13
If you write something and you say to yourself you know this sounds familiar. 14
I think I heard this somewhere before or I heard this somewhere a lot before. 15
Well then challenge yourself to rework it you know try to put your own little stamp on it. 16
Sometimes it just takes the tiniest little tweak the tiniest little change and it becomes all your own. 17
That's really it for this lesson. 18
I just want you to keep these terms in the back of your head whenever you're writing. 19
Challenge yourself to put your own unique twist on whatever you write. 20
I promise you it'll make all the difference. 21
All right I'll see you at the next lesson. 22
Thank you.
