I agree with the over-use of "that"...I find myself doing it a lot. When I look back over things I've written I eliminate lots of "that's", lol. : ) I have also found coming up with more muscular words a fun challenge. I found this very helpful Karma.

I hope that others follow the link from it to this post since it's a really great read! I particularly think that the point about using muscular words is a good one. There are so many terrific descriptive words out there and we so often skip over them in favor of the words we're used to using. Thanks for dropping by my blog.

I used to work in the TV news business, where simple-yet-strong writing is (supposed to be) the rule. But I've gotten shamefully out of practice as of late. Great tips, Karma.
