So, if we aren’t supposed to use adverbs, too many verbs are frowned upon and we can’t over use ‘that’, ‘just’ and whatever else. What the hell can we write??

I literally didn’t know returning books was a thing until I joined the #WritingCommunity and saw the debates. I would never dream of returning a book just because it “wasn’t for me”, that’s honesty so weird.
