If you're an artist, get a writer. So many of you think your just as good at writing as you are drawing, but you're not.

Read a lot. Old books, new books, books in genres you like and maybe in some you don't. Then it's just practice.

One thing I love about Who Framed Roger Rabbit is that Jessica is this sexy, reserved, coolheaded character except for that one instance when she freaks out about the dip. It's the one time she makes a facial expression like another toon and it was A. Great characterization B. Goofy faces on pretty characters is more satisfying, when done in moderation.

If you have to resort to cliche plots, try to subvert them.

One episode of the-show-that-shall-not-be-named just had every life debt plot cliche in existence with absolutely no twist and it was boring.

I think the occasional cliche plot is fine and doesn't need to be subverted or whatever, as long as they happen in moderation.
