    Every time I read something by someone who's super anal about writing in the passive voice, it invariably looks like a children's book about a dog called 'Spot' that's learning how to run :(

    ETA: Disclaimer: I do like books that are definitely not in the style of 'effective' business writing; prose is a beautiful thing, and it need not always be murdered by 'getting to the point,' I find. (Particularly in storytelling!)

    I think it really depends on what we are writing. Flowery language is good, but you need to read and make sure that it's the good kind of flowery, not a diarrhoea of disjointed inspirations and thoughts.

    Vaguely related to the passive voice, the use of "has been" in description writing (not in prose) is the bane of my proofreading days.

    Thankfully, Clementius and Phaestus beat that out of me wayyyy back in the day.

    In the same vein as John Snow at Thanksgiving, enjoy Melissandre at a baby shower:

    Samantha Bee makes me so happy.
    And I love too                                                                          Be still, my indelible friend
    That love soon might end                                                         You are unbreaking
    And be known in its aching                                                      Though quaking
    Shown in this shaking                                                             Though crazy
    Lately of my wasteland, baby                                                 That's just wasteland, baby

    I was listening to this and was thinking "Ah yea! THIS is music!"

    then Lorde started singing and ruined it

    Yea, that one!

    Sounds like you have a pretty narrow scope to work with. Branch out!
