Re: Writing Opinions

"Said" is a perfectly acceptable word, and should be used 99% of the time.

Re: Writing Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

Yes.

Half the time my substitute's for "said" end up being horrible. As do most people's.

on that note, so are character names. you don't need to call them "the blond man" or 'the taller woman".

I don't understand this one. Why exactly is there a backlash against "said"? It's one of the most necessary words in fiction!

Re: Writing Opinions

"I haven't the faintest idea!" the anon exclaimed. "Said is a perfectly good word that has been cruelly neglected as of late!"

"I concur," a different anon pronounced.

"As do I!" a third anon chimed in.

"+1," ejaculated yet another anon.

Looking at you, J.K. Rowling >:(

True, but JKR's real trouble was Adverb Abuse.

Re: Writing Opinions

[(Anonymous)]

Teachers/Experts apparently thing it lacks originality and/or becomes redundant in a piece of writing. Which apparently means they've never read any particular length of writing, because after like 5 paragraphs you stop noticing the saids, but you sure as hell take notice when someone ejaculates all over the dialogue, as the other anon pointed out.

This is the conventional wisdom to a very extreme extent
