Writing Tip #212

Writing Tip #212

Tighten your sentences. Adjectives and Adverbs should be used only when necessary. Overusing descriptions is a red flag to agents and publishers of a novice writer. Go through your writing and circle all adjectives and adverbs and read it without them. If it works without them, then cut them.

Sometimes when I write black women I feel like I have to be like SHES BLACK! SHES DARK SKINNED! SHE HAS BEAUTIFUL DARK EYES! SHES DARK SKINNED AND BEAUTIFUL SHES BLACK! because I know that a lot of ppl would imagine a white woman if it's not expressly stated that shes black and even if they do imagine her as black they'll default to a light skinned woman especially if she's described as beautiful or she's a romantic interest
