Are you guilty of using these words in your stories and essays?
So not only did you teach me about writing memoir, you also taught me about reading and thinking about how others write memoir. Thank you so much! Rebecca

Thanks for this! I'm looking forward to this afternoon, see you then.
ReplyDeleteThis was very helpful Glenda. Thanks for sharing. "Got" always got attention in the critique classes I attended. It didn't take me long to learn that it was a big no-no.

I'm just as guilty as the next person of using these words. This will definitely give me something to think about. Thanks, Glenda, for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSam, I think we are all guilty of using these words, and we have "got" to stop and be careful. We use them in our everyday language, so it follows we want to use them when writing.
ReplyDeleteAbbie, thanks for your comment. I'm glad it hit a chord with you.
ReplyDeleteI know I will refer to this list in the future.
