writethisfanficGood morning! I'm psyco_chick32 and I'll be checking in with you guys as we wrap up this month's WIP challenge!!
How's everybody doing today? Word Count? *points to icon* Is this a common thought lately? Let us know in the comments!!
Also, let's talk about Descriptive Writing.
"Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very'; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be." ~ Mark Twain.
Do you love adverbs and adjectives? Do you make an effort not to use them? Obviously, descriptors can add a lot of word padding when you're desperately trying to hit a goal (**cough** NANO **cough**) - is that a "trap" you've fallen into?
