Go to Twitter and look up #BadWritingTips. It should make you laugh and give you some good advice (i.e., do the opposite of what the people are saying).
If it doesn't make you laugh, or if you actually required my parenthetical explanation above, and you say that there's nothing wrong with some of them (using "huffed" or "snorted" or "sighed" as speaker attributions, for example), trust me, it's a problem with you and not with the tips. Go take a class or work with a writers' group or at least read a freaking book about self-editing.
