Craft Chat Blog Post - Are These Filter Words Weakening Your Fiction?

[Carol Rose]

Our local RWA (Romance Writers of America) chapter has a Facebook writing support group, and someone posted this gem yesterday. Filter words weaken our writing, and produce the effect of distancing the reader from our characters.

I'm guilty of lapsing into using filter words when I'm trying to push a story to the end, and am paying more attention to getting in the word count for the day as opposed to crafting the story.

This applies to writing any novel, not only romance, so I hope it helps.
