adjectives and adverbs/ Reece Pocock 2008-09-22 19:21:59
Loved your article Israel. When writing fiction we are taught to avoid adverbs, and to a lesser extent adjectives. We are told to use a stronger verb or noun.
Personally, I love the descriptive power of adjectives to lift the writing to include the reader. Adverbs are easier it avoid, but sometimes a verb has to be described.
I'd be interested in your comments about avoiding adverbs.
