The Writer's Lexicon: Descriptions, Overused Words, and Taboos

The Writer's Lexicon: Descriptions, Overused Words, and Taboos

Youâ€™re a writer. You just read your manuscript and discovered your characters nodding like marionettes in every chapter. When theyâ€™re not nodding, theyâ€™re rolling their eyes.

Oops.

Time to slash the Pinocchio strings and turn them into real live people. Award-winning author Kathy Steinemann will provide the tools. She cuts through the so-called rules and offers simple solutions.

Too many repetitions of â€œlittleâ€? Thereâ€™s a cure for that. Do you rely on â€œveryâ€ too often? Thereâ€™s a cure for that too. Youâ€™ll find the remedies in this bookâ€™s dispensary.

Should you ever use anything other than â€œsaidâ€ to attribute dialogue? Are exclamation points taboo? The answers might surprise you.

Learn how to harness body language, cut hackneyed adjectives, and draw on the environment for ambience. No more wooden characters. Youâ€™ll transform them into believable personalities your readers will learn to love. Or hate.

Get in the driverâ€™s seat, relax, and enjoy your journeyâ€”with Kathy Steinemannâ€™s book as your GPS.
