DON'T HESITATE - TAKE ACTION . . . verbs in your story
Action
Verbs
Action Verbs are “in-the-moment”
words that move a story forward. As writers, we want our reader’s eyes to keep
scanning the page, not to stop on a term, word or lack luster phrase.
Mark Twain was once quoted for saying: “When in
doubt, strike it out.”
An Action Verb
describes the action taking place in the story by using immediate words such as run,
walk, do, smile, drive, jump.
Here’s an example of a passive word choice opposed to an action verb.
Before: She was running…
Action: She ran …
Before: She was talking about …
Action: She told…
Before: The group was beginning to come toward the table…
Action: The group sat at the table …
Here
are some examples of Passive words versus Powerful terms:
