asdeepasyouplay:

I once had a week-long workshop with writer Jack Kreitzer. I was twelve, and I had just finished the very first draft of what is slowly becoming Our Eyes to the Stars. He told me I was a still pond that ran very deep, and I never forgot what I learned from him.

This sheet was one of the most valuable. Said is Dead.

For the next thirty days, the word “said” is your enemy.

I used to give this list to my journalism students. Great list! Thanks for posting. I know my creative writing students could use it for NaNoWriMo.
