Yes, I love a good, descriptive, full, well-rounded, spot-on adjective as much as the next gal! ;-) Thanks for stopping by!Kristin Tubbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05657534927169563930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19560058.post-28348899955165296512009-07-20T19:44:04.824-05:002009-07-20T19:44:04.824-05:00overuse of adjectives. I love a really good outstanding, phenomenal adjective...or two, or three... also, adverbs are totally misunderstood. Really, what would I do without them in my completely overwhelmingly crappy first drafts? And we writers on vacay can't forget to use lots of -- and ... for real.Traci @ ITDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18158949570719862850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19560058.post-27006046503570531382009-07-05T22:19:04.402-05:002009-07-05T22:19:04.402-05:00Thanks, Christi!

SERIOUSLY, what's not to love? They are so WONDERFULLY, DELIRIOUSLY expressive. Who wouldn't want to CONTINUALLY use them? I, for one, like to use them FREQUENTLY. In fact, I have to go through my manuscripts and highlight each of my NUMEROUSLY-sprinkled adverbs so that I can SADLY get rid of most of them. Great blog subject--SERIOUSLY.Christi Athertonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10915898224081632499noreply@blogger.com
