By keeping the book grounded in naturalism (not “realism,” realism is boring). You just keep asking yourself, “What would somebody I know do if..?” Everything that’s ever happened before is a cliche to someone. I don’t worry about it. The superhero ditching his girlfriend isn’t a cliche, it’s a real problem. How it plays out is the interesting part.
