    Mind Your Love for Adjectives


    Now that we've seen a nice sampling of adjectives, there's one thing left to note. It's best to use
    discretion with adjectives. You never want to overdo it.

    Generally, nouns and verbs should do most of the descriptive work in your writing. Don't simply
    tell your reader something is beautiful, exciting, or interesting. Use your words to set a detailed
    scene and consider using a sprinkling of adjectives rather than a heavy dousing.

    As you seek to strike that balance, expand your adjectival toolbox a little further with Adjectives
    for Mood and Feelings or put a positive spin on your writing with this list of positive adjectives.
    Having a wide variety of options at your disposal will allow you to choose the right adjective at
    the right time.
