Video Description
In my latest video, I show you exactly how to take a lifeless paragraph and make it LEAP off the page—and make your reader feel fully immersed in the skin of your character. And the best part? It only takes a few minutes to make these fixes. We’re talking: replacing vague words with sharp, specific ones;  ditching adverbs for power verbs; cutting tired clichés, and weaving in sensory detail that makes your reader feel what your character feels. And if you’re serious about fixing these issues in your own writing? The one tool I swear by is ProWritingAid. It’s like having an editor sitting on your shoulder, catching vague words, lazy adverbs, and tired clichés so you can focus on the creative stuff. You can try it out totally free, and if you fall in love (you will), here’s my special link for 20% off: ProWritingAid.com/pp/AbbieEmmons
