Writer's tips

Writer's tips
1. When you're writing be careful of using the same adjectives and verbs.  They may come off as mundane or too repetitive: words like yawned, still and mostly.


2. Making sure that you are separating ideas into their own paragraphs.


3. Don't douse a sentence with too many adjectives or adverbs.  A sentence like: The puffy coats sat like a streaming stew is doing a bit too much.


4. Cut the use of too many adverbs especially with "ly" .  Words like suffixes, mostly, extremely, tiredly should be dropped.


5.Think about how close you want the reader to be to the person who is telling the story.
