Good chick lit gives readers a great escape, with memorable, familiar characters in funny situations. And great chick lit makes readers laugh and cry because we know exactly how these women feel. Unfortunately, there's an awful lot of really bad chick lit out there that's little more than a collection of formulaic clichés. Sadly, this kind of stuff gets published and sold -- usually smack in the middle of Barnes & Noble, adorned by hot pink covers.

So what are some of these stereotypes and bad clichés? If you're writing a chick lit novel and want it to be at least a little bit original, avoid these silly situations and characters.
