WHAT IS IT

In any way either talking or writing, it is best to use suitable


words or phrases that denote the exact thought of a writer to
its reader. The writer must be cautious on the word – phrases
usage to be coherent with the ideas, to avoid
misinterpretation. Layman’s term, easy vocabulary that one
can understand is relevant in creative writing; any famous
fiction writers use effective words to sustain the reader’s
attention.
WHAT IS IT

Diction is the choice and use of words and phrases in


speech or writing. By scrutinizing words and phrases
use can mean deep understanding to the readers and to
the listeners alike. The following are some basic tips to
help one apply the words and phrases effectively in
writing:
WHAT IS IT

Use strong and exact words. Linking verbs and passive voice weaken the statements
instead replace the linking verb and / or the noun- verb – noun into an action verb and the
passive to an active voice.

Linking Verb Action Verb

WHAT IS IT
Use specific words / color. Vivid descriptions make the readers attentive and eliminate
boredom. Every fiction writer must have in mind, Show, Don’t Tell rule. Do not tell {writer}
the character of your story is angry rather show it {reader} how angry the portrayed
character.

WHAT IS IT
Avoid cliché’s. It is a word / phrase that is commonly used and lack
of originality, e.g. common quotes, sayings, and idiomatic
expressions.
Idiomatic Expressions Revised

serenades her, and he swept off her feet. light – string music with a cappella OPM
song.

Overused Saying Revised


 No man is an island.  We are social being.
WHAT IS IT
Be concise and avoid redundancies. Deadwood words and phrases fill out spaces but do
not make the meaning clear. Redundancy is a repeated word / phrases with the same ideas.
Deadwood examples are as follows:

*The fact remains that *To the extent that *What I mean is *While at
the same time *Most likely *Due to the fact that * Basically *That
might or might not *Actually *For the reason that *Sort of Wherein

Redundancy Example Revised  She is


 She is pretty, beautiful and sexy. gorgeous.
WHAT IS IT
Use adjectives and adverbs appropriately. Adjectives describe noun and
adverbs to verb; it is not necessary to describe neither the noun (object) nor the
verb (action).
Examples:

✓ towering X towering model who is long


model - legged
✓ a cadaver X a stiff cadaver (obvious
since its lifeless)
Directions: Revise the following sentences to have a good diction.
ASSESSMEN
