Sep. 16: Using Strong Verbs

Well today's meditation is on the use of strong verbs instead of sluggish puny auxiliary verbs. Fred White believes that using strong verbs accomplishes three goals at once. These are improving clarity, enhancing readability, and injecting more energy into the writing. The try this segment is to pull out an old story or essay and scrutinize it for its use of verb phrases. Where you find predominately sluggish noun phrases revise they by turning them into verb phrases. Hopefully will get a chance to do that tonight. There are some other things I really need to be working on tonight. Like next lesson for Bible Study tomorrow morning and/or writing another article for Examiner.com. Plus what I really want to do is sit back watch the bloob tube and crochet. Not enough hours in the day. In fact, would not have had time for this blog except a cilent did not show for an individual session.
