Ron’s Tip of the Day Word Usage
Welcome to Ron’s Tip of the Day. Throughout the week I will share a tip with you. This is an experiment in microblogging. Let me know how I’m doing. Today I am looking at Word Usage.
Word usage is an important but probably overlooked ingredient of a successful story. Here are some thoughts.
Short words tend to speed up a storyLong words tend to slow down a storySome words are more difficult to understand; use clear, concise wordsSome words have different meanings in different contextsSome words are more difficult to pronounce than othersUse verbs and adverbs wisely (check grammar book)Don’t use long sentences unless necessaryShort sentences tend to speed up a storyNormally try to stay at or below 8 sentences in a paragraphCheck your spelling
Tip of the Day : Watch your word usage, including grammar and spelling.
