Tip Tuesday

Here are some general tips for writing:

1. Use concrete, specific nouns when possible.
2. Strong, vivid verbs will add "zing" as well as emotional impact to your writing.
3. Adverbs, especially "-ly" adverbs, should be used with discretion.
4. Adjectives should be specific and clear and not too numorous.
5. Prepositional phrases can often be moved to add variety to your sentences, but a phrase should usually be placed near the word it modifies.
6. When pronouns are used, the antecedents must always be understood.
7. Make every word count!!

Sorry for the grammar lesson there--hope you find these helpful!
