Writing advice that changed my sentence

When I was a young writer, I was told that I often started my sentences with "there is/there was/there are." I was told to eliminate those as much as possible.

I couldn't believe how often I used them. My first novel was completely littered with them.

I learned to diversify and grow my use of verbs. Instead of the state-of-being verbs, like "is" which isn't very descriptive at all, I started using stronger verbs.

Instead of writing "There were a bunch of trees on the hill" I wrote "A cluster of trees towered over the hill."

"Towered" is a much stronger verb than "Is"

Use the state-of-being words, but if you can, try replacing them with more active verbs. You might be surprised how much your writing improves.

A poet is a nightingale

Who sits in darkness

And sings to cheer its own solitude

With sweet sounds

i want to love you in a way that compensates all your past pain.

did i talk too much? did i talk too little? did i laugh too much? did i laugh too little? did i overshared too much? was i kind enough? did i listen good enough to them? did i ask the right questions? did i embarrassed myself? did i show enough interest? did i notice all hidden signs of their emotional state? did i make them feel bad? did i interrupt them? did i make them feel good about themselves? did i leave them better than i’ve found them?
