RE: Mini writing workshop: What is the trouble with adverbs in fiction?
I think sometimes substituting adverbs with more description is the more awkward thing to do. I wouldn't quit using them in a complete manner ;)
Yes, I think as long as they are used judiciously, and not as a crutch. The main reason for this guidance, I think, is to help writers become aware that use of adverbs tends to weaken writing. It’s lack of awareness that leads to over-use.
I will add a few reference articles to this post so people can read more, if they like. Thanks for for comment, @manoldonchev!
