How can I avoid clichés in my fantasy writing?

To avoid clichés, focus on developing unique characters and settings. What specific clichés are you concerned about?

I'm worried about the 'chosen one' trope. How can I make it fresh?

Consider subverting the trope. Maybe the 'chosen one' is reluctant or has a flaw that makes them unfit for the role.

That's a great idea! What about magical creatures? They often feel overused.

Try creating your own creatures with unique traits or abilities. You can also explore lesser-known mythologies for inspiration.

Thanks! Any tips on world-building to keep it original?

Incorporate diverse cultures and histories into your world. Think about how geography influences society and magic.
