I’m sure you’ve made a post about this before but can you explain please how to write without using “she did this” and “he thought this” over and over again? Like instead of always saying “she opened the door” and “he got up from the chair.” Just so the story doesn’t sound boring and bland. Thank you !

Hello!
For me, using more dynamic phrasing was something I had to practice and keep an eye on to nail down–and I’m still not perfect at it.

But, here’s an example: “he got out of his chair and angrily walked over to her.” you would write something like “Rising from the uncomfortable wooden chair, he strode toward her, his fury blazing in his eyes.”

It’s a matter of practice. In that vein, there’s a link to some practice exercises I just created that may help more than me babbling on. Enjoy! (Also, anybody let me know if practice exercises on more simple topics would be something ya’ll would like to see when they come up in asks or are requested?
