Guilty! I use them. Too many. Too often. I try to cut down, really I do. Sometimes I go whole paragraphs without even needing one and then, suddenly...

Luckily, for people like me, Adverbially Challenged Volume 2 is on sale from today.

This collection of flash fiction (and the writing challenge that inspired it) is both a bit of fun and a really useful exercise for anyone who thinks they might be a writer. Instead of just listening to the likes of Stephen King telling you to cut out all your adverbs, you can read something that shows you what happens when you don't, as well as hinting at how, just occasionally, that might not be such a terrible crime...

Plenty of laughs. Thoughts provoked. And all profits to a very good cause: First Story.
