As I began to...For me, it is more than which words. As I began to get serious about writing, I started paying very close attention. Poetry needs to be succinct. Less is more. I learned to cut out all unnecessary words.<br /><br />Writing prompts are wonderful exercises, especially when there is a word count. However, when it is a sentence count, less is also more. Run-on sentences, overuse of commas, and semicolons are all issues. If you end up with the required number of sentences, but they are incorrect, you are incorrect. The overuse of the words "and", "but","then", as well as a few others are pitfalls. For what its worth, I am usually a stickler. If I share my writing, it has to be as close to perfect as I can possibly get it to be. I will not crank out my work. It means too much to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2655671648854655720.post-19078798448917383532018-03-04T13:56:57.402-05:002018-03-04T13:56:57.402-05:00Ain't it the truth!
