True Confessions: Chap. 6 "Diction"

In Trimble's, chapter 6 "Diction" the advice that felt most familiar would definitely have to be the choosing of the right vigorous verbs. Ever since grade school I've been taught to change up my verb usage and to try to use verbs that are much more creative. I think this advice is also pretty useful to me in respect to my own writing because I think I truly do need to work on using more powerful verbs. My verbs tend to be very one-note in my opinion, and I have a hard time changing it up. I think if I'm much more conscious of this and try to put in more of an effort when it comes to my verb choice, then my writing could improve tremendously.  The right verb can definitely make a difference and have more of an impact on the reader, thus vigorous verbs is what I shall work on.
