Day 49

[adonnchaid]

Adverbs get a bad rap sometimes, but they are one of the most over-used sorts of words in writing. I don't think you can read any book on writing without the warning to watch out for too many adverbs. Today, I have some archaic adverbs for you :) Words of an era that even Ezra wouldn't use them. OTOH, they had me smiling as I remembered a scene from one of my favorite cracky-bad-but-totally-fun movies "The Black Shield of Falworth". Imagine, if you will, a young Tony Curtis sitting on a horse, pointing toward a far structure and in his Brooklyn accent, telling his companion "Yonder lies the castle of my father."

Maybe you had to be there *g*
