Mrs. Paul is a fantasy author and grandma. This blog is something like a daily journal. She will list the word count and chapter number of what she is working on and will post one writer's tip that she actually used during her day of writing.

"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!
