My Life As A Writer: David V. Stewart on Adverbs

The conventional wisdom on adverbs in writing is, bluntly put, wrong. David explains.

Words are your toolkit. You want to strive for accuracy and precision to achieve the intended effect upon the reader, and that means using the right word in the right way to make that happen. Adverbs are fine when this is the intent of their use.

David's got plenty of videos like this at his channel, and he streams regularly there on weekends--usually Saturdays--so keep him in your blog/vlogroll.
