In food writing we must avoid overused words like delicious and yummy. In wedding writing (another of my specialties) we must be on guard against completely worn-out words like elegant. Of course, one needn't be so careful in blogging as in magazine writing. I only hope my food blog isn't the ruin of me as a writer!Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttp://delightfulrepast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-15459460364429094642012-06-10T11:35:56.728-04:002012-06-10T11:35:56.728-04:00Glad it made you laugh, Marcia =DGlad it made you laugh, Marcia =DRuth Schiffmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625363295823548969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068659764096530244.post-14577642705510902992012-06-10T11:32:44.423-04:002012-06-10T11:32:44.423-04:00Just is a tough one.
