For anyone who needs a refresher on what an adjective, a verb, or an adverb is, look no further than Mya's writing reminders!

Mya's writing reminders:

An adjective is a word that describes something.

Ex: Galaxy angrily blasted the training dummy with turquoise magic.

A verb is an action word.

Ex: Galaxy angrily blasted the training dummy with turquoise magic.

An adverb is a word that is added on to a verb to describe it.

Ex: Galaxy angrily blasted the training dummy with turquoise magic.

Okay, now that everyone's on the same page, let's get started with the rant!

Words that creep me out/make me feel slightly uncomfortable:

#1: Purred

If you're using it as a noise that a cat made when it's happy, that's fine. But it's NOT fine when you use it to describe how a character is talking.

Unless you're trying to creep your audience out, don't make your humans purr. It's freaky.

#2: Huskily/Husky

I mean this word as an adverb/adjective, not the breed of dog. I have nothing against huskies.

Some people use this word to, once again, describe how a character talks. Let's see what the dictionary has to say about this word:

(of a voice or utterance) sounding low-pitched and slightly hoarse.

Unless your character is sick, they shouldn't sound like this.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I just really don't like these two words, so I made a chapter about them.

Also, Happy Canada Day, Happy 4th of July, and happy any other holiday that's happened recently!

Pig out!

Edit: okay for some reason I can't reply to comments, so I'm sorry if I sort of leave you on a cliffhanger if you ask a question or something.
