Verbs play an important role in a sentence….

Without verbs, there is no action in the sentence.

One writer’s thoughts on verbs… “If you write you tend to use a lot of them. He ran off. He dashed off. He raced off. He careened away. He jolted away. He hurtled off. Very cool how a single word can increase or decrease intensity.” Which of the above verbs do you find most interesting?

More thoughts on verbs… “Verbs. Gotta love 'em. Do you keep a list? Hate to admit it, but I do. Since I write a fair amount of action it's good to know you don't have to have your heroine "run" away constantly. She doesn't even have to jog or sprint. She can jolt, careen, or charge. So, any listmakers out there? If not, got any favorite verbs you'd like to share?”
