My advice to all writers is this: avoid adjectives entirely. They compromise the message. I so hate to read writing that relies on adjectives (or, worse, adverbs) to get across. Forget it. Don't do it. If you are posting new writing here, first thing you should do is go over it and cross all those shitty words out and find nouns and verbs that mean something.
I think to comment on particular new writers' work about this always comes across as "mean", but relying on trite adjectives to 'paint a picture' is the telltale sign of a crap writer.
Telling all o' yiz that for free.
