My pet peeve of late is "hissed", since lot so people who write
for
Raph also say that. But... hissing makes an 'sss' sound, and
if you
don't have anything to make a hissing noise, then that's the
wrong
description to use.
Hissing: "Where'ssssss my
Preciousssss?!"
~Lol! Ok, I'm guilty of that one. And I *know* better.
But...but...hissing is so wonderfully descriptive of the emotional
content, albeit, not the actual sound.
Or this.. also redundant: "Wow, I got it!" he
shouted. The
exclamation point pretty much states that the person
is already
shouting, so there's no real need to reinterate. In
that case, a body
action would be better, like "he jumped up and
down".
~Yeah, much more
better! "Show, don't tell."!
~GW...don't wanna go to work...
