#WritersCoffeeClub Ch1 #15 — Which conjunctions do you use the most? Does it matter?
By far it's "and." And—and it does matter.
I write as if I'm speaking a loud, and I give all my stories a dramatic reading. Dialoguing is my style—I'm am a first person author, after all—but too many "ands" slow the pace of a story, transforming an emphasis cue or an uh-huh pause into a transliterated verbal stutter. That's rarely good. Often deletable. If I see an "and," it's always a primary target during revision. And... /and/ that's enough said about that.
