Great po...Yeah, all these are all on my listssssss! Great post.<br /><br />My comfort words are sighed and whisper. I used whisper in one form or another 900 times in a 113k MS. I know I write about Whisperers, but that is a bit excessive, no? Geesh. Good news is, after doing these word searches MS after MS, I find I'm getting better. I don't use "seemed to" as much, or "began", "tried", "hoped to"... I'm still searching for them, but it's much quicker. I used "seemed" once in my last MS. <br /><br />Another one that might be handy that I noticed I do a lot and so do my crit partners, is addressing the reader.-- Can you imagine that? Isn't that crazy? Why would I do that? -- To me, as I write, this is my character thinking, but when I read it, it comes off like he's asking the reader this question. If I built my scene right, there is no need to ask himself or the reader, so I delete.Tanya Reimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293977395016853814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627214116764692432.post-52617040269439146902012-06-18T15:27:31.906-07:002012-06-18T15:27:31.906-07:00This is a GREAT post, Jenny.
