Writing Tip: I'm not one to say that you have to eliminate all -ly words, but it is good to limit them.

Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteOr: Nice move!
"ly" words are like carbs: there are good ones and bad ones. The trick is to use the good ones in moderation and avoid the bad ones as much as possible. What I did during my revisions was this: I typed "ly" into the find feature on my word program which allowed me to evaluate each one on it's own merit and decide what I should keep and what I could do without. If only it were that easy with carbs!
