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.

Me: mommy that really is dearest, taskmaster teacher, wascally wabbit. village idiot. too old to own the age (okay, I'm proud of 42 years of life and wisdom).
Me2: movie lover. music lover. book lover. people lover, sports lover...current faves: catch wrestling, MMA, Quentin Tarantino movies, trance music, Francesco Petrarca, Oklahoma Sooners.
Me 3: don't own most of what i post, but will try to credit it (I'm an English teacher, damn it. Plagiarism sucks. Intellectual property should be respected)...much text posted is me being a blowhard, so forgive my ramblings...or not. ;-)
