Axe Adjectives

Avoid the use of adjectives to describe. If you wish to gain the reader's attention, show an action. Why and how does an event occur? Reveal it in detail like a photographer or painter. Watch a sunset for beautiful and express its qualities. Search for metaphors and similes. Do the ridges appear like fans or curtains and then what? Does a scent arouse attention?  Reveal how the sound of dew hitting the rose ping or pop or snuggle the petals.  Sense of focus and specificity intrigue. Express the opposite of beauty to enrich the experience. Create an image that reveals a judgment. Include weeds that blossom and stretch themselves beyond the concrete?  A   S   T   O  N   I   S   H Active verbs move sentences Sentence variety relieves the reader Tickles with metaphor engages communication Oh !  get rid of adjectives and adverbs Nourish with wonder  Ignore words like beautiful Simple works Help the reader into your story A   S   T   O  U  N   D Astonish with verbs Startle with a noun        Tickle with metaphors Out with the adjectives and adverbs     Nurture the reader    Design sentences Notice where metaphorical thinking connects to a secret inside not yet explored.    Trace the ridges and boundaries.
