Hello Brad A Web site evaluation clarifies your thinking and your writing.”
How about the other way round? Your thinking and writing are clarified etc etc.
Put the reason first.
I love adjectives keep em going. Sorry about the lack of punctuation Im using a foreign keyboard and cant find the correct keys.

Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the article. I have to confess… I think people should keep writing regardless of certainty about adjective use… and keep looking for ways to make their writing more compelling and powerful as they go. But maybe that’s just me.

If one is in doubt about when to use adjectives then one shouldn’t be writing.
The problem is most are using things such as awesome, ultimate,unique and the f word, which I love without any knowledge of other fabulous adjectives.
Nice article though. Take care and get as much joy as you can everyday.

wilson, well it does all depend on the context and what you’re trying to achieve with your writing. If you think of them as something you keep in your writing toolbox you can just use them when you think they’re needed.

I've to admit it, although I'm not a big fan of Adjective, but when it's necessary, I still need to include it into the sentences... wilsons last blog post..Do Mind About Your Sleeping Hours!

Thanks Cath, glad it was useful. I found it a very good question to work on – got my brain working hard. Thanks.

Hi Joanna – thank you. That was quick. I didn’t open my reader for a couple of days and you have my answer here already.

I do get in now. I can see how the adjectives added to the story in that last paragraph. Even two right together worked well.

And I have often been guilty of leaving adjectives in to emphasise appoint but I can see how that might look suspicious now. Thank you.

Kazari, thanks for coming back. Using adjectives sparsely sounds like a good recipe And nothing wrong with a bit of language-mangling now and then…
