MLMM – Adverbs

***

Adverbs? Seriously? I almost never use adverbs. Normally I like to use adjectives, nouns and verbs, but an ADverb? Eventually of course everyone has to use an actual adverb or your writing would rarely see the light of day…It’s entirely possible to pose a poem swiftly and try not to use any adverbs at all such as this:

Joe’s dog is mean

Meanest dog I ever seen

He will bite your leg or arm

His master says he ain’t no harm.

So in conclusion, I would politely , playfully, offer this advice. A thoroughly enjoyable piece of writing almost always has to contain words that are adverbs, describing, where, when and how.
