Essay
Tip
"Picky
Pet Peeves"
While writers make an infinite number of errors, I am revealing my four
biggest pet peeves.
- Jerky jumps. Yes, new
paragraphs mean a new subject, but the reader should clearly see how
the new paragraph relates to the preceding one.
Transitions gently carry your readers from one subject to the
next and prevent them from leaping over logical chasms in your writing.
Use them.
- Unreferenced pronouns. Now
you see it. Now you don't. See what? What did "it" refer to? If you are
using "this," "that," or "it" as pronouns, a noun must precede and
define the pronoun. A nebulous concept or different part of speech
doesn't suffice.
- Flabby writing. Use of
the passive voice, reliance on tired clichés, and dependence
on the "to be" verb bloat your writing. Although not technically
incorrect, they shatter flow and devastate your style.
- Words that mean everything and say
nothing. If you spoke to my youngest daughter when she was in
her mid-teens (she has improved slightly with maturity), you would
think that "like" is a word to replace all verbs. She used it
constantly when she was too rushed or lazy to think of a verb
– which was often. For other lazy bones, the all-purpose word
is "go" or "get." Whatever it is, it's gotta go. English is a language
rich with precise, colorful, varied verbs. Take advantage of them to
enrich your writing.
