Descriptive Words

I can't say I'm a good writer. Do I think I have some talent? Sure - as do many other people.

But I've noticed recently, and it annoys me to a degree, that people tend to think good writing consists of jamming as many adjectives into a sentence as possible.

Stop it.

They are there to assist the sentence, not literally make the sentence.

Relax a bit - let the writing breathe.
