Wrting Tips

Ex: Marcos shot cesar in the leg.

2. Activate Your Verbs: Reveals the action of the verb.
Ex: Cesar jumped the fence to pass theball to Jared.

3. Take It Easy On Those -ing's:
Good Def: Prefers the simple present or past tense.
Bad Def: Changes the sound, May sound repetitive, Makes the words longer.
Ex: During Anna's Vacation in San Diego, last weekend, she ran swam, and went to rollerskate.

4. Watch Those Adverbs: Use to change the meaning of a verb.
Ex: Cesar crashed drunkenly into his couch.

5. The Loop!: Creates an expirience for someone else.

6. Concerts, Not Pancakes!:
Concerts Def: May Startout  good, but may end up better.
Pancakes Def: May strat good, but will end up really boring.

Ex: We are what we search for.
The word for is added to the end of the sentence.

Ex: We are what we search.
The word for is not in the sentence and it makes the sentence much better.
