a writer's question

think about your writing and give me one phrase you have penned more than once

there is a writing program that can analyze  a story and predict who wrote it. Think about your own style and give me one line you have used more than once.

"From the smell, you can always tell when human flesh is burning"

Our middle son was a first responder to a plane crash that was engulfed. He's never been the same.

"As the white-breasted Nut hatcher sat on the Bough of the Sycamore tree" would be a line used a ew times.... So touched that your middle Son would risk his life for another. Amen... Pat

"Creamy white thighs"
"Cosmic Foil"
I have used those bits as well as quite a few others I cant think of at the moment. Good question...

Happy New Year

We all do it. It would be interesting to know the things we use as our go to tools.

Has to be "I see you" in one way or another that pops up in my stuff often or some variation of it. Are you going to compose a poem based on all our lines?

[Cherrie Palmer]

I am pretty good about not rewriting the same word over and over in a piece. However with that said I do like certain pharses and will reuse them in more than one writing. If I'm not careful I will over use and.

[William Michael Reeves]

That's a tough one. I work so hard not to repeat. But I was just feeling that on something. Interesting you brought this up. Let me think....

The night was sultry - no, wait that was someone else.
The man put a sock in his pants...actually, no. Hmm?

Well my biggest problem is too many filler words. If I can learn to use less articles and 'be' words, I might be better in the future.

Check how many times you see a phrase start off with sometimes...in a review. I find myself doing that a lot too.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes I try hard to not reuse the same words but I do it too.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

When evening drew the curtains. Used that in several short stories or something to that effect.

[Cherrie Palmer]

What a great line.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Thanks. Merry Christmas!

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you for playing along. I hope you had a Christmas filled with God's love today.

"it was a dark and stormy night"---no wait, that was Snoopy.

Oh, yes, that's right...I don't write stories....
so don't really have one...

except maybe this ...
ellipses

but "the day now spent" is good...although this day still goes on.

Merry Christmas, Cherrie,
