Strong or Weak Words?
Words thought as weak in writing. I don’t always think they’re weak, but used at the right time in some cases. One person’s style or preference isn’t the same.
Suddenly
Then
Very/ Really
Just
Slightly/Somewhat
Seem
Definitely
Overuse of adverbs
I have never used some of these words or came across them much in literature. I think we are all used to the word suddenly. That particular word alerts the reader something significant is going to happen in the story. What are some words you use instead of these? In stead of being redundant with the word suddenly, I like to use “all at once” or use of a transition word that gives the reader the alert to the scene.

Again it all depends on how well the writer expresses this in their storytelling.
