May 8, 2009PowerPhrase Quick Tip ~ Ignite your verbs
As I write a proposal for a mentor program design program, I remove the ing’s to “ignite my verbs.” This is from my copy editing teleseminar with Barbara McNichol.
Some action verbs are: Achieve, adopt, align, boost, bridge, capture, clarify, connect, create, define, design, ensure, find,focus, gain, grasp, ignite, improve, inspire, learn, master, overcome, persuade, prevent, realize, reduce, scan, sharpen, simplify, stretch, unleash, use
Adding “ing” removes impact. I want my proposal accepted.
