I tried out some of your techniques (and read that awesome article) and it boosted my writing immensely.

I'm still working on it myself, and I suspect I will continue to do so for quite a long time. <br /><br /><br />The adverb-verb combination is a good one, too. Always helps to turn two unnecessary words into one strong one. :)Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-35766200899780013892014-02-28T14:41:15.733-08:002014-02-28T14:41:15.733-08:00This is really helpful, thanks!

Another thing I would add is replacing unneccessary adverb-verb combibations with a more accurate verb. Instead of "laughed disgustively" you can use "snorted", or a verb that fits there better.Medvekomanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-55914632371351257472014-02-28T09:38:22.228-08:002014-02-28T09:38:22.228-08:00I really had trouble with filter phrases.

I've only recently started using what I call 2.5 perspective (third-person limited with the intimacy of first person), and I had "felt" and "thought" and "saw" droppings all over the place, just disgusting.Robin Rednoreply@blogger.com
