I love finding the perfect, descriptive word, which sometimes takes up a huge amount of time, but it is well worth it. The flip side to that could be, though, using too many descriptions. It is hard to know where the cut off is. Jane, great job on the pennies/dimes/quarters progression. ps: Thanks again for the workshop. I will love doing this week's exercise. Lia I love words.

In my case, it's sheer laziness. I mean, thinking is hard (as in difficult), not to mention a pain in the ass (not as in a boil). I don't make up words so much as wave my hands around a lot. Ya know? ya know? Jen,

I am so horrible at descriptions it isn't even funny. I end up making up words to try to describe what it is I am trying to describe. See, I can't even write a description of my descriptions. I am going to try it with those prompts because this is something I know I need to work on. That’s a really hard, as in difficult thing to do and not as in like a diamond, thing to do.
