Great reminders from Laurel. Thanks for the link.
I've had to let similes and metaphors go. Oh, I thought they were so clever... but not if it bloats my story.
Blessings for a wonderful weekend,
Dotti :)
Laurel's always got good things to share. Thanks for the link!
Happy weekend,
Karen
Hi Dotti - Laurel always has great tips on her blog. I get there as often as I can.
Hi Karen - Yes, I agree. Have a fabulous weekend!
Blessings,
Susan :)
I've never heard that term before. Learn something new every time I come here. :O)
I'm checking her out. thanks!
I guess it's what you read. Lately I'm reading lots of prose that needs more words, more description. Weird!
Hi Diane - Since I love purple so much, you'd think purple prose would be a good thing. Then again, I've had some nasty purple bruises. :)
Hi Terri - If you haven't been to Laurel's blog, I think you'll discover quite a treat.
Hi Dena - I guess we can err on either side of the spectrum.
Blessings,
Susan :)
