I feel that sometimes the simple words convey the thought better than some eloquent sounding word that you picked from the thesaurus. I refer to my thesaurus often but I don’t feel the need for obscure words I wouldn’t use.

Some can just be eliminated, some reworded entirely, but there are times when I toil over choosing just the right phrase, word, or expression to convey my thoughts or emotions. I read this next little piece and was moved by the writer’s choice of words. When I write my initial draft, I just write whatever comes to mind, as it flows from my pen or fingers on the keys. It’s why, as a writer we are compelled to read the varied works of other writers. Choosing the right words is something that writers toil over.

Possibly, but most of the time it’s a simple matter of finding a better word. Sometimes we ooh and aah over their choices, and sometimes it leaves us flat. You know what you want to say, but it doesn’t quite convey your thoughts. When I read what I’ve written inevitably, there are sentences that need work.

I liked the characters enough and the romance angle, but the writing bugged me enough that I found myself hoping that it wouldn't be made into a series because I don't know if I could... I think there are a lot of things that I think teen readers will enjoy.
