Trimble's Diction

When I write, I usually am so caught up and mentally focused on what I am doing that I forget the simple strategies to writing. The section Trimble writes about verbs is key to my writing. I often forget how important verbs are and how they can shape stories. They can help us make judgments about other authors and their work. Verbs are the action to every story and they bring words to life. They allow us to taste the apple and not just see it, vivid images and pictures begin revolving in our minds because of the use of verbs. Lately, I’ve been going back and revising my verbs after noticing how one of my classmate’s essays that had an incredible variety of verbs that made me eager to read more of their writing.  After doing so to my writing, it provided a more interesting piece and it also increased the “freshness”, another one of Trimble’s main pieces of advice. A terrific essay with fun verbs and that is saturated with freshness, what more could you ask for?
