This is the second in our Flip that Cliché series.

Cliché. n. "a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought."

So for this swap series, we will flip a cliché.

This time:

You win some, you lose some.

Still not sure what's going on? Here's an article that provides an excellent example of flipping a cliché.

You'll have two partners. Send whatever snail mail works for you with your flipped cliché: postcard, notecard, letter, poem, essay, short story, flash fiction, etc.
