Choreography, Adverbially

February 11, 2025

Good morning, that wonderful way.

… to start the day, of course.

O/ Glad you made it.

Let’s go.

On with the show.

Adverbs.

For some reason, my cup of tea-not-coffee wants to speak on adverbs.

“Pick a stronger action verb.” – Seasoned Writer/Teacher

But, if everything is its own collection of molecules dancing their particular dance, isn’t everything an adverb?

At very least a verb.

The chair I’m sitting in is doing its best to express being a chair.

A big lump of space doing its best to be a comfortable choreography of molecules best suited to hold me while I write. Rather comfortably too, I might add.

Yes, this clump of atoms is chair-ing quite comfortably.

A comfortable clump of atoms dancing chair-ily.

In fact, you (yourself!) are a clump of quarks moving Your-Name-ily.

I’m moving Ghos+-ily to the next subject.

Thank you-ily. Please stop dancing your look like that at me-ily. You-ily know sometimes Wynn-ily likes to shake it profoundly.

Nothing strange here. How’s the sunrise?

Still a full moon for the light source. Still a heap of hound dog molecules on the loveseat sleeping dreamily.

In defense of the adverb, it’s all about rhythm. The same holds true for the semi-colon.

Want to aggro the closest group of angsty authors? Simply use the words adverb and semi-colon in the same sentence. Tell them to loosen up, be happy for the tools, stop complaining and get back to writing….

Clearly, concisely, rhythmically, prolifically, metaphorically, wholeheartedly; adverbially.

Take care, remember grammar is a canvas, not a prison (reference your text messages for further explanation), and have your day better-ily.
