The Two Worse Words a Writer Can Use

I was thinking this morning about Anthony Bruno (He wrote The Iceman, among many other fine books.) He was my wife's step-brother-in-law and a damn good crime/mystery writer to boot. He died way before his time, on August 28, 2014, leaving behind a beautiful wife and daughter...and his blog, which every aspiring writer should read.

It matters not which genre piques your interest; Bruno, as he liked to be called, had something to say about everything. And today, as I was looking through his many blog entries, I stumbled upon this one, which I commend to your attention:

This piece struck a chord with me because the two words he mentions happen to be two I find myself using from time to time in my own writing. They are terrible! And yet they sneak in like a thief in the night, stealing the quality from my efforts. See if you don't agree they are the worst!

I think you will enjoy what he had to say.
