I blew the dust off this post from last summer and shared it on HarsH ReaLiTy. Added a few “favorites” to the list.

  1. I will have to give this some consideration, as well as send a message to my pastor, as he’s the exclamation mark king.

  2. Good reminders, Diana. Remove cliches and the writer bares him/herself to the readers more, making the story even more visible.

    1. =) It’s a feast of options available to the writer. No need to for what’s canned.

  3. Simplify, simplify, simplify…I guess is the mantra.
    Thanks for the Like on my blog. I would appreciate comments on my blog as well!

  4. Thanks for popping by my blog – the burden of wings. Your blog is beautiful with lovely pieces…I especially like the one about your husband and the text message. I once tried emailing my husband instead of talking to him…it worked really well but i found it too demoralising and depressing to keep it up 🙂

    1. Too depressing, huh? Hope your face-to-face has been good. Thanks for the good word on my blog. It was a pleasure to visit.

  5. Totally on point! Painful to read (or be guilty of writing) a piece that feels like a poorly made rom com.

    1. LOL Dear of you. We’re all a work in progress.
