Deep Point-of-View or “How Do You Really Feel About That?” — 7 Comments

  1. Funny you should mention those words, lol. I've been picking them out of my prompt story since the weekend. A great perspective on this. Thank you for sharing!

  2. Yeah, I'm not sure "fun" is exactly the word I'd choose, particularly when I find a bunch of them in my work. πŸ™‚ But useful, no question.

    Have fun writing!!

  3. I too hate to find these words in my stories. It's always harder to do things the 'better' way but the finished product is always improved. Thanks for the reminder. E

  4. Thanks, Tess! I agree, it does make the end-product better. πŸ™‚ But I do think it's important to remember, and I probably should have put this in the article, that the job of writing and the job of editing are mutually exclusive and can't happen at the same time. We need to trust that the story can come onto the page, even in "imperfect" form, and we can always polish later. (That's something I need to remind myself of often, or I get bolluxed up trying to make sure I say something "right" rather than finish telling the story.)
