Meme Monday
"Back from the Dead" edition
I spent most of last week feeling run-down, exhausted, and absolutely miserable. What a way to start the year! If cold and flu season’s got you down, here, have some memes to help that healing process with a little laughter.
And finally: I feel seen…
Again, Sam, great memes. I especially laughed at the writing advice from a teacher vs. the young kid's advice nowadays. The leader of my 1st writing group had a bee in her bonnet about not using adverbs. She had swallowed whole the gospel according to some writer she admired. But then . . . she'd urge us over and over to write tight! LOL!
Adverbs describe in a SINGLE word what it otherwise takes several to describe. Can't have it both ways, honey.
I also don't prescribe to Stephen King's hard-and-fast rule about only using "said" as a speech tag. It trips me up every time when it's really a reply or a question and leaves a drip, drip, drip in my brain of repetition.
BUT, the key is balance, not overdoing either one or going over the top (she espoused passionately). ;-)
