RE: Reflecting on Elmore Leonards's Ten Rules of Writing
A shame, but I'm not surprised. As I stated above, reading many forum posts. Writers seem to be encouraged to try and change up their word so not to sound repetitive. Unfortunately it comes off sometimes as someone just pulled out a thesaurus and replaced words without thinking why these words were different in the first place.
Yeah disappointing that some writers still choose to experiment with words with analyzing the impact on reading pleasure of reader.
