True Confessions

In chapter six of  John Trimble's Writing In Style, he describes what he feels is important when it comes to diction. The three main points he makes is consciousness, vigorous verbs, and freshness. Each one of these is important but the one which I feel is the most important to me is vigorous verbs. This is one area where I could improve on my writing. Usually I try to just write and get my point across. I don't even think about how verbs could improve my language. They would really make my arguments sound a lot stronger. If I used more vigorous verbs the audience would see how strongly I feel about a point and be more convinced. In the future I will try to work on incorporating this into my writing.
