Writing Tip:
The sentence was:
Hollee ran along the path beside the river and spotted two tumanhofers and two kimens. She ran back and bounced on the log that was Fenworth.
Two rans so close together is not good. And ran is so generic. So of course, I changed the verbs to something more visual.
Hollee zipped along the path beside the river and spotted two tumanhofers and two kimens. She raced back and bounced on the log that was Fenworth.
