TIGHTEN IT UP YOUR WRITING - Deepstash

TIGHTEN IT UP YOUR WRITING

 Things to avoid:

  • Repeated or unnecessary words and sentence structures
  • Reliance on dialogue to convey information to the reader
  • Characters using each others' names repeatedly in dialogue
  • Superfluous adverbs (he said angrily, she walked away quickly)
  • Too many adjectives (the puffy, white, cotton candy clouds)
  • Play-by-play-character movements that don't need to be included(picking things up, crossing rooms, standing and sitting, etc.)
