I can now recommend this to one of my writer friends who doesn't believe me when I say "burned out," "tired," and "burned out" together in one paragraph is repetitive. Love this post so much! I'll definitely be using it for future reference because "Admitting you have a problem is the first step."

Speaking of abs, I really liked how they made it funny in Crazy, Stupid, Love by having Emma Stone's character tell Ryan Gosling's that he looked "photoshopped" :D<br />Cracks me up every time!<br />Great post,<br />Ninja GirlNinja Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901215698632029838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864466917051288017.post-73414759829051927572012-05-23T11:58:03.751-07:002012-05-23T11:58:03.751-07:00Ha, so true!

It's hard to cut out description when you think it's clever, but finding that perfect word and cutting out all the rest is definitely the way to go. :)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462382909938737612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864466917051288017.post-2329528101233725922012-05-23T10:18:46.926-07:002012-05-23T10:18:46.926-07:00Okay, hilarious post title and first line :D
I do...Okay, hilarious post title and first line :D<br /><br />I don't think I have a problem with word vomit in people descriptions (it might help that I don't write much romance), but I admit to having it for other kinds of description.<br /><br />Often (in first drafts) if I want to describe something but don't want to slow down/take the time at that particular moment, I literally just list about 20 descriptive words, all run-together in a non-sentence-format, then move on with the story and go back to it later.<br /><br />...which looks like my thesaurus threw up on the screen...<br /><br />We all have our different kinds of word-vomit ;)<br /><br />Good post ;)1000th.monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835988128285459745noreply@blogger.com
