All Sides with Ann Fisher - 10:00 AM - Avoiding the Syntax Sin Tax
 
Play
 
Are your words weak? Does your prose lack pizzazz? A little onomatopoeia can add a lot of KAPOW. Author Constance Hale says that a well-placed simile lifts writing off the page like a big...lift-off helper. She'll discuss the musicality of language and how to get over commitment phobia when choosing interjections-gasp!-and verbs.
