]]> Comment on Grammar last: Write the story first by C. Pete http://storybodyguard.com/2011/10/30/grammar-last-write-the-story-first/#comment-755 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 16:20:57 +0000 http://storybodyguard.com/?p=1665#comment-755 Great comments, Zara!

Two other “Wishy-washers” — “only” and “just.” And two of my thoughts…

1. Check verbs – should be present tense. “Joe jumped off the cliff.” to “Joe jumps off the cliff”.

2. Conver passive voice to active. “The truck is bombed by the terrorists” to “Terrorists bombed the truck.”
