   Crazdwriterposted 16 years ago

   evil?  I use this word too much and need new ones.
   
   For exampled: "Marcus lifts his free hand to his cheek and wipes away blood, his eyes watching as the demon dances from foot to foot and laughing ____."
   
   I was thinking of once again putting in evilly but I want a new fresh word.
   
   Any Suggestions?

       My mom was the same way when I moved...of course when I moved out my brother who had moved back home from SF had just moved out and I was moving to an island far away, Hawaii. So yes she was in tears a lot and truthfully so was i because I didn't want to leave my parents But I knew it was time for me to go.
       
       Do your best to stay strong for them but just remember that you get to visit them and get to help them make their house theirs! well that is if they are moving into a house. And if they are moving to another state VACATION TIME FOR YU AND THE HUBBY WITH LOTS MORE ADVENTURES IN THE NEW STATE! that is how my parents look at it now since I am married to the military and have to move around more. they did that when I moved to Hawaii. they came out in Sept, 2007, I got married and then they spent an extra week just having fun.

    yeah, I'm trying to look at the bright side. I get the room with the largest closet now after I repaint and clean the carpet that is, and yeah I can visit them in AZ so that would be fun. Just gonna miss her tons, she's my buddy as well as my baby girl.
    
    At least she is leaving Prissy with me. When she moved back in I had just found my cat mauled to death by a coyote and well Prissy came with her and I've grown quite attached to the little girl.
    
    Tantrum: I've let her fly three other times and never a reaction like this cause I knew she would be back, this time she won't be. While they haven't made an official commitment with rings and paper they have made a verbal life commitment to each other. So, this one is the keeper and all.
    
    I'll get ok with it and get through the holidays and then mid-jan I'll be back to fall apart some more on you guys cause that is when they are departing.

    Just a thought but Stephen King told me to avoid adverbs like the plague unless I am JK Rowling. (In his book 'On Writing'). I'm not his biggest fan but he can sure sell a book. Maybe try changing your sentences to include similes or metaphors instead.

    I would agree. In my book I don't try to end in the plural context or with "ly"
    
    for example;
    "hop along joyfully"
    "joyfully hop along"
    
    these are somewhat childish in comparison but the english laguage 'usually' tends to compliment what I have stated. example 2;
    
    
    "married hapilly"
    "hapilly married"
    
    normally you would choose the later. Hope this helps.

    Instead of laughing, you could say cackling like a madman, or maniacally or hysterically or anything. Changing the verb could open up more possibilities and attitudes.

       Just stopped by for a bit between studying. How are you all today, I've been careful about the forums and not posting except for a few threads from people I know.

             It is significantly more quiet this way and less infuriating. That and I'm done with the religion forums. Just take a few days and read through them without commenting, its the same thing over and over again, nothing changes, except some names and nouns. What is solved?
             
             I am sorry to hear about your loved one Crazd, I've been reading your hubs but holding on the comments for now. There's just alot going on and alot to deal with. But I feel for you.
