Connie, I can totally see the appeal, but I've heard that those adverbs are being over-harvested.
Jesse, you can, but they're all really cool, and we wouldn't have heard of them.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You can get some great adverbs from Brooklyn now.
Artisanal adverbs.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
(cannot stop humming, "lolly, lolly, lolly, getcher adverbs here...")

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, you can, but they're all really cool, and we wouldn't have heard of them.
Well, exactly. I mean, I was using them years ago, but...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I get all my adverbs from the CSA. Community Supported Adverbs help local adverb farmers, and they're so much fresher and more descriptive than the ones you get at those big box adverb stores.

I've heard that those adverbs are being over-harvested.
They've made great strides with sustainable vocabulary building, and the sillier ones are being used for mulch.

Because books.
Some local writers are organizing a YA book club to meet monthly, and our first book is going to be The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It's supposed to be heartbreaking, too.

It is. It was also super weird because it's set in my hometown and references things like the mall we used to hang out with and my high school!!

Oh, wild! I haven't read any John Green yet, and I've been told by a lot of other YA writers this is a huge failing on my part.
