Ah, all good then. Although, wouldn't there be certain ways of writing in your own language that are cliche?
You're writing drama for money? Well you need to use ALL the cliches, ALL OF THEM. That's the best way to get a best-seller.
If you're not writing it for money rethink your entire life, genre fiction is shit.

here's some tips
>don't kill off characters, most overused cliche
>no jokes, it's supposed to be dramatic and heart-wrenching not a chucklefest
>no love, second most overused cliche
>make sure the actors are written smiling most of the time so it doesn't bring down the audience's mood, they'll walk away with a better mood themselves and write better reviews for your play

>protagonist who hunts down loving couples, stalks them, then rapes and kills them while happily smiling the entire time

Make sure that all the characters have clear motivations, and that their actions make sense from the viewpoint.
Also a good way to dreate catharsis is to have a character either not get what they want, but get what they need, or get what they want, but realize it's not what they need.

You can do both man. Unless you're memeing and trying to have OP write the blandest book ever.
